PM Lee
I don’t understand this. What is the PM trying to prove? The kid has taken down the article and apologised according to his demand. All he asked is for the PM not to push for damages. For the simple reason that he cannot afford it.
Has the PM thought about the fact that if he continued to push this further, it is not about Roy’s finances but it will affect all his loved ones who will have to put forth their finances to help this poor kid. Come on, is this really good, Mr. PM, please think about it from this angle!
We all have been young before. At this age, people can be very vocal and brash at times. They have not enough experience, but they have the courage to speak up because they don’t have the same baggage like older people to think about. As such, it is possible for them to make mistakes, even mistakes that can be perceived as somewhat irresponsible.
However, you need to consider this in the context of what he said consistently over the 400 articles that he has written. Go through all of them, and you will know the mindset and intention of this guy before you come to any conclusion. It gives the impression that that you were waiting for him to make that one mistake, and this is the chance to take him out. Many of us don’t think like you that he is the enemy of the state.
The key issue that Roy brought up is the transparency of our CPF policy. He could be overzealous this time to say something unfair to you. Even many of us think it was a bit overboard. But it is still true that the CPF’s ever-changing policy is bothering many ordinary Singaporeans.
I advise you to address this and prove to us that Roy has been unfair in his judgement. This young chap will not be able to fight you with the machinery that you have. In the end, it just confirms that you are fixing the opposition. Don’t you think that is a self-fulfilling prophecy?
