'WHAT she said did come across as insensitive. The language was
stronger than what most people could take.
But she wrote in a private blog and I feel that her privacy has
been violated. After all, they were the rantings of an 18-year-old
among friends.
I think if you cut through the insensitivity of the language, her
basic point is reasonable, that is, that a well-educated university
graduate who works for a multinational company should not be
bemoaning about the Government and get on with the challenges in
life.
Nonetheless, I have counselled her to learn from it. Some people
cannot take the brutal truth and that sort of language, so she
ought to learn from it.
In our current desire to encourage more debate, especially through
the Internet, our comments must be tempered with sensitivity.
I will not gag her, since she's 18 and should be able to stand by
what she says.
The new media of the Internet is such that if you don't like what
she has said, you have the right of rebuttal.
Hopefully, after the discussion, everyone will be the richer for
it. As a parent, I may not have inculcated the appropriate level of
sensitivity, but she has learnt a lesson, and it's good that she
has learnt it at such an early stage in life.'
