A person, no matter how intelligent, learned, powerful and cunning, when he does not speak sincerely from his heart, his own words will betray him.
.
Confidence and Trust are lost. He is seen as being irresponsible, unreliable and untrustworthy. Therefore, no matter how many law suits he has/may have won to uphold his integrity, his integrity nevertheless remains what his insincere words have reflected under the full view of the public ears and eyes.
.
The perception will remain in the memory of the public, and also nowadays in the cyberspace.

Anyone care to update this episode in the Wikipedia for posterity?

Mr Ho behaved like a fool when he said those words. Lately, some answers to questions by the esteemed ministers were so circular. Words are spoken but offer no nearer to the truth of the things being discussed. And they think everybody is stupid. I think that all ministers would have probably attended a party lecture called “How to answer questions without really answering them” and another lecture on “How to talk down the opposition and still look a good minister”.

Chee Soon Juan was once described as a political gangster. What an apt description for some of our all white self-proclaimed gentlemen politicians.

Whatever they may claim to be, gentlemen they most certainly are not!

Whatever standards they may claim to have, first and foremost, must be their double-standard!

What happened to those new MPs who claim to be different from the old run of the mill PAP MPs? What have they got to say in their blogs. What Sylvia Lim asked are questions every right thinking Singaporean would want their MPs to ask, party affiliation aside. The questions represent the concern of every Singaporean who is only too aware of the common propensity of this govt to load the law in its own favour. Sad but true. It is becoming a dangerous precedent and augers badly for the country. Don’t be surprise if we wake up one day to find that it would be made illeegal to question in parliament any action of the Executive.

if lee kuan yew were to cycle, i’m sure there’ll be people stopping him to talk to him, simply because of the rare opportunity of meeting such a respected man.

any way, with respect to the situation in which “other people” will stop you, it’ll probably be the ISD or the policemen.

well, at least we know opposition parties and gay people are on the same boat. they can’t have group recreational activities in public places.

Perhaps, but I guess until PAP have decided to hold their own cycling events, we will probably never know if they are planning to uphold such double standards.

Till then, we should perhaps instruct Temasek to stop making overseas investments in politially unstable countries such as Thailand or Indonesia for not just do they generate greater potential risks in investor returns, they have demonstrated tremendous impertinence in the burning of our leaders’ effigies.

And we should perhaps stop all political outdoor events; for in the words of our esteemed Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs, herein generates a greater potential for law and order problems. Such as those described in the events itinerary in the PAP website http://www.pap.org.sg/calendar.php *chuckles* I don’t think you can hold a campfire event indoors though.. Such potential problems I can see with someone holding a flaming stick could do while debating political issues.

I think YPAP is holding cycling and amazing race style activities. check their website.. we should all lodge a protest that their safety cannot be ensured.

because “You may be well-behaving, but there may be other people whom you come across when you cycle who may stop you, may want to debate with you and that may attract a crowd, and therefore will result in problems the police want to avoid.”
