it goes beyond that .....
I was just commenting about this article that appeared in the
rag last wednesday I think .... one of the former teacher of one of
the DTE slashers were commenting on the little prick's behaviour in
school .... and he was a prick even then, tossing desks at
teachers, challenging them, such that some teachers were afraid of
him. And he could get away with it cos he knew the principal would
avoid calling in the police at all cost .......
his PB at stake mah .....
and that's a big part of the problem .... problems get swept
underneath the carpet, statistics get massaged ... right from the
bottom upwards people are telling their higher ups what they wanted
to hear, and so on up the chain .... and so we have the ironic
situation of reported crimes going down while kids are slashing
people on the streets, loan sharks run wild, and ah tiongs infest
our country with impunity ....
what needs to happen is that the people on top and in the middle
need to stop shooting the bearers of bad news. we've been stopped
from telling the whole truth more than once because management are
pussies.
and that is the reason why you see so mainly brainless replies
to the press that look like they were lifted off a standard
template.
For example, I once drafted a 2 page reply to a query that
addressed each question point by point......it got whitted down to
a 3 line paragraph that totally didn't address the issues raised,
by people above me.
