on the contrary, he and his attorneys made the right move. it's a pre-emptive strike, and throws the ball back in the accuser's court, daring for a retort or challenge to bait the rash and proud to surface and make a mistake. if the accuser cowers, backs down and retracts, credibility is lost forever and all allegations become suspect in the eyes of public opinion. that's all that matters, whether there are witnesses or evidence to the contrary. they become moot if the case does not go to court. and it's vindication for the minister and his team of lawyers. because of such an excellent chess move, he would snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and cook two birds in one pot. hats off to the minister. he has gained my respect. sg need a person like him to lead.
I find it a stupid move, he is making a big publicity of himself using Alex blog. If he caught scroobal and the matter appear in newspaper, it will ba a BIG BIG news and gone will be his days in the eyes of voters. Besides, whether it is rumor or not is not the issue, the issue is whether he did it, if didn't why so afraid of the "cowboy" town?
