''Let's move on...'' - is this
not typical of SM GCT's generosity and willingness to accept
matters at its face value ?
During the 2006 Elections - in
response to the James Gomez ''loss of papers saga'' - it was
also the amicable SM GCT who said - ''Let's move
on''.
.
It was
surprising to read from the records of those events that it was
WKS who had insisted in carrying the ''James
Gomez persecution'' to the limits:
When the Gomez saga first blew up, SM Goh Chok
Tong told reporters on 30th April, "let's move on". (But when
Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng spoke
to him later and explained why he was still pursuing the
matter, Mr Goh felt a need to probe further. He
suggested that the Worker's party should hold a press conference to
clarify the matter.)
On 1st May, Worker's Party Low Thia Kiang said
that he was not going to comment further. He said, "I'm making it
clear here, so let's move on."
On the same day, Sylvia Lim said that Jame Gomez
has already made his apology at a previous rally and "we should
move on from here".
Surprisingly,
a few days later - before the polls - the nagging continues, and
from an ever unforgiving super-perfect talent :
MM Lee said, "Can you commit a dishonourable --
maybe even one which is against the law -- an illegal act and say,
let's move on because I've apologised? You may move on but you're
going to move on out of politics in time."
.
Should
Singaporeans be generous with WKS - and accept the
half-baked official explanation given to Parliament - move on
and turn our back to this 'MSK saga' - that has affected
Singapore's reputation of a super efficient state led by highly
paid super talented Ministers and Politicians ?.

What will we
do if there are no bloggers dutifully recording the events of the
day ?
