Rag-and-bone man charged with threatening MP

He should not be charged but sent to IMH for long term treatment. It is wrong to charge a patient with his type of mental illness with crime.

i personally think the MP own character has some problem. I still cant understand why he got someone aiming at him twice. someone punched him a few years back and now a second person torched on him. Why? Why? Why the government not reviewing his performance? Why still support him through newspaper stating how pitiful he is. He must be showing arrogance or offence to the people who seek help on him. I still cant understand the old man who plead not to blame the MP or talking negative about him. That old man who also got burned must be growing mushrooms on his head.

If you have seen the nasty, unkind, ugly behaviour of seng han tong on TV, you will know what sort of shitty arrogant toad he is. It is overstated that lky considers his PAP team members are talents. seng han tong is no talent, he is a liability.

I don't think it is a strange pattern of civil unrest, but rather the changing pattern of response from society.

We note there is a general increase in complaints, and expressions of dissatisfaction. This incident is just another form of that expression. It is what that is within the capacity of the perpetrator. The younger set would have been more vocal than violent. Still there is a general increase in expressing dissatisfaction.

This is good. As such expression brings about changes, mostly for the better, although not necessarily so. Sometimes more stern measures are implemented.

Whatever, it depends on how the dissatisfaction is expressed. The wisdom of the ages still hold true. Speak your truth quietly and clearly.

Frankly, in the eyes of we younger generation, we felt that is really look very cartoon and miserable, on one side, is an old pitiful man, on the other side the govt MP. We are taught to respect both, the old and the govt, but if both the older generation and the govt are at odds, it give us an impression of something like,..we just can't express it out...but in layman term is will like..WTF is going on??

angel7030 SG

He seems to be unable to get along of older folks, especially the male gender. Maybe they dun like the way he talks or perhaps something else, anyway, u r rite, he or the govt need to do some case studying and ask themselves if they need to go back to school to learn about human interaction and public speaking. They need to upgrade.

You call this a threat?

"Mr Ng is accused of making the threat against the MP in a telephone call to a Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports customer service officer on Jan 12.He is said to have threatened to cause hurt to Ms Phua with intent to cause her alarm, by telling the officer in Mandarin:“I cannot take this anymore and I don’t know what I’ll do one day. I can’t be sure ... I get angry when I see her, so how canI not hit her?” Leong Wee Keat"

It looks like to me he is just saying that he mght lose his temper and hit her. So he cannot go and see her. (Must be the MCD officer asked him to se his MP)

If he cannot go and see her, how can it be a threat? It is not like he said: "I will go and see her and hit her" He is saying he cannot go and see her!

So what happen if one day, he see her in the street??

Uncle Andrew, if one day, we met up, I am going to kill you, ok.

wonders? SG

Is this post closed?

What happened to my reply?..I wonder?

AndrewPKYap SG

How about ... they have a hundred billion to lose to foreigners but no money to treat the mentally ill properly?

wonders? SG

I am posting this again..seems my reply is lost in the network…

I was reading this interesting forum and it has set me wondering…

Why are public resources being made use of in what should be a civil case…I wonder?

Is the man being made an example of, as a threat against the people..I wonder?

What happened to doctor patient confidentiality?..I wonder?

Is this going to be the precedent? Is the police going to arrest anyone who even mentioned “I can’t be sure….I get angry when I see her, so how can I not hit her?”..I wonder?

Someone mentioned MP are voluntarily speaking up for the people..ain’t this their job?..I wonder?

Voluntary..does that not mean unpaid?...I wonder?

The poor and civil unrest? The poor are trying to fill their stomach and have no time for civil unrest..the only course open to them seems to be the mrt track. Civil unrest is for intellectuals who for whatever reasons, rousing the people feelings and leading them in the unrests…isn’t it?

Of course, if the people are being taken care of and happy, who would want to join any unrests? In this case, why is the poor man not being taken care of instead he is being arrested, jailed and brought to court?..I wonder?

Is there really any justice for the poor?...I wonder?

Oh dear…will I be arrested for contempt of court for even mentioning this..I wonder?

What is the recession proof job in Singapore?...I wonder?

Man!x SG

What is the recession proof job in Singapore?...I wonder?

MP, Minister, Perm Sec or any PAP lackey. Economy up or down still can fleece SIngaporeans of their tax dollars

I've followed this with interest and am appalled at the way the authorities are handling this. Have a heart for the poor man. Could you be big enough to understand that a man with limited education, pushed to the brink of poverty, who have lost all dignity and whose only way out is to beg - and he does this imperfectly so - doesn't deserve punishment. He deserves help instead. I'm shocked that the MP actually took offence at this remarks. We need to have a heart. Know that when one takes a honourable job as an MP - it is to serve the public, and one would do so with humilty. It would mean that one would have to deal with the occasion, unpleasantness that comes with it with a pinch of salt. If people are acting out in defiance, its time to look at how our policies have been ineffective in dealing with them. Have they been given a listening outlet, a sympathetic ear. A man in poverty still needs people around him to treat him with dignity.

My appeal is - please have a heart for the poor man. You have not lived like him nor suffered like him - its impossible to feel on the ground because you're way up. If you have decided to serve the community, please please do so with serious commitment which would mean enduring the flaks that come with it. Remember that the public is aware that you are remunerated with taxpayers money. Please do find it in your heart not to be offended but to render help in the biggest possible way.
