The CCP officer should be respected for speaking up his responsibilities concerns.
It is Singapore, a hard won & created free responsible democratic & peaceful nation after all.
Furthermore the event is a DIALOGUE, to share, discuss & find solutions to build a better World for all & innocent generations to come..
He need not go ballistics though, as such behaviour will only put others on defensive & whatever that was said would only be wasted & rejected..
Perhaps others with opposing views should invite him out to a dinner instead at Fullerton Hotel, in a relax atmosphere, for a better & fruitful sharing of views, to speak ởne's mind freely, discuss & find solutions with the ULTIMATE aim to better our World & Humankind...
In the end, he & fellow Humans do share common ground - to survive, for himself, his family, loved ones & nation, in such priority of order...
We Humankind can build & elevate lives, proven by difficult eras but came thru wiser, than to play a zero sum game where none survives...all it takes is only to freely share, discuss & find better solutions, an opportunity in this Shangri-la dialogue's aim that our hard earned independent nation with untold sacrifices by many, so many & hardworking citizens are offering & supporting, for a better World & Human evolution...
