PAP faces a new challenge. Roy and JBJ - a world apart

[ILovePAP]

JBJ is miles better than Rory. JBJ struck them down in and out of parliament.

The fault lies with the PM for not nipping the CPF issue in the bud. It is not a new issue, and this PM has the habit of letting issues fester instead of dealing with them upfront and the moment they appear. This is the diff between father and son.

The PM can sue as that is his prerogative, but Roy's case can also be a teachable moment. The PM can stay his hand and still rip apart Roy's arguments in public; or choose to whack a fly with a sledgehammer and see his support slide further.

I mean, you can bankrupt the guy and others like him, but are you going to address the root issue or continue to keep mum? Is the govt courting libellous attacks deliberately to take them out? These are different things.

Roy is young and imho, I shall attribute his actions to misguided exuberance of youth. There is a difference between making smart satirical biting comments which are based on facts and casting loose and unmoderated remarks that expose one to defamation suits.

Kukubird never did anything to justify you calling him that.

hahaha...thanks...
it is ok.....there are many attack dogs around that do nothing but spout vulgarities.....
everyone is entitled to his/her opinions.....
kukubird is not important.....more important is to expose those serial bullshitters.

Scroobal, I am afraid it may not be a new challenge. On the contrary the PAP's job has become easier.

As you said, the people getting sued these days shifted from politicians like JBJ, Chee and Tang to Roy and Alex Au. But unlike JBJ, Roy and Alex are not politicians and cannot milk sympathy votes from what happens to them.

PAP can also claim they have no political agenda behind suing Roy and Alex, since these people are not politicians.

That will be worst for suing the man in the street, he is not a politician just an ordinary guy!
But gahmen want to sue for the famous defamation and sure win situation but on the long run
Peasantporean would pity this guy and gahmen will get negative vote comes 2016!!!

Peasantporean will look at gahmen as a BIG Bully!! boh liaw!!
