"adultery is commonplace in our society today, it is no longer a
yardstick to judge a person's integrity.
seriously, i'm more concerned about handing the fate of my
country to a bunch of guys who would succumb to corruption if their
pay is equivalent to what the President of United States is
getting.
that is integrity for you."
I disagree.
A person's action is derive from his/her values. Be it cheating,
lying or corruption, the act is a result of the application of
one's values and beliefs in life.
If a person can cheat on his wife, the person closest to him,
what is stopping him from cheating on the public, a faceless mass,
if the opportunity arises? If a person can derive thrill from
committing adultry, how would this sense of thrill be different
from embezelling?
The relationship between how one conducts himself at work and in
his personal life is not as distinct and seperate as our simplistic
mind would like us to believe.
Bill Clinton took the bitter pill and admitted to his mistake,
would Mr Chia do the same?
The evidence would reveal itself in time.
in my opinion, you're being to microscopic.
those politicians have to come clean because they were exposed.
their political career will be destroyed if they do not admit their
honest mistake.
