I had always enjoyed TOC's articles now and then when i want
some off-beat amusements. It's articles are filled with fantasizes
and delusions akin to UK tabloids of elvis sightings, UFOs, alien
abduction and the what nots.
But the latest article on the MP Lee sarga irks me much in their
deluded attempts to portray themselves as serious alternative
voices, which every serious alternative political parties and
supporters should avoid and distance themselves away from. In their
hate for the ruling party, they had allow that hatred to consume
them and forgotten what alternative views are about - the Nation,
our country.
To spare all reading the delusional diatribe from TOC,
here's a summary of what that article posted on Page 3 is all
about:-
a.) MP Lee BW has no integrity nor any
accountability
b.) MP Lee BW had been high-handed in her approach.
In their hatred of the ruling party, they once again as often,
ignored facts.
a.) Gao Ning battled ALONE a 'so-called' mediocre opponent
whom won.
b.) Out of 5 coaches. not even 1 was present for a running match
to provide analysis and support, at an Olympic level and not a
friendly neighbourhood competition.
I am a neutral political person, take no sides, but I certainly
would and had made a stand on MP Lee's decisions. I am glad she
stood up for our player, wearing our flag, first as a citizen,
then the President of the player's association, and finally, an
accountable public figure as an MP.
She had shown her courage and mettle, to stand up for the common
guy represented by the player under her charge, and based on
irrefutable facts of negligence under public eyes, to
chastisize those responsible for the unforgivable
negligence.
She did it without a care or wit who it was, what they had
contributed, without fear or favour, or hiding anything. as
should we all, being a nation of equals, proves her integrity to
her oath as an MP.
That she decided to let the matter rest, shows her
accountability as the President of her Association. She
had that power as a President to hire and fire, and rather than to
hang the team manager in public, the response
was the manager would not have his contract renewed, but
allowed to reapply again, under the responsibility of the new CEO.
Her compassion showed.
Thus TOC had been blind to call her actions high handed. A
wrong had been committed and her response was swift. To call
her high handed would mean TOC, supposedly an alternative voice,is
advocating making decisions behind close doors. kissing butts,
sweeping mistakes under the carpet. This is not democracy. This is
worse than N.Korean authoritarian methods.
The writer ought to be sacked for advocating such means.
I for one, am glad there are people like MP Lee BW
around, without fear and favour to denounce what is so
obviously wrong and clear cut.
We want medals and success, but we will not compromise
our principles for it. We may fudge a little, for it is
not written on stone, with the concepts, but it's core
remains, had done so and been guided by this doctrine for the
past 43 years, from nothing to something of today.
