Was listenin to 938 this morning, and was sizing what's the main
pts of criticisms against this decision? too long? not proven until
guilty? Mr Low knows Yau for so long? morality checks?
Firstly, kudos to WP for taking this harsh but necessary move.
For me, better late than never. I think WP has given enough time
for this for this matter to settle, before making the decision. And
to show, it was not done in the heat of things.
For me as a public, I do believe Yau may have explained to the
relevant people in the party. But we are not visible to that.
As for morality checks, from the MOE scholar in UK, to the
recent transgressions of high civil servants, apparently, this is
not 100% fool proof, but how the system kicks in if there are any
stepping out of the line. As I read in strait times, Mr Teo also
shared why there is a delay in the announcements.
lastly, WP has taken the moral high grounds and show they can X
even their heir apparent to Mr Low if he steps out of line. It may
have ripple effect on the rest, but I am still sure some will be
resistant and continue to assure us they are doing their best
despite the floodings, the crowdings, and etc etc.. Sigh..
