THE Morning Express show on Class 95 has been making fun of the Jack Neo scandal since it first started.
Last Friday, presenters Glenn Ong and The Flying Dutchman compared themselves with the most trustworthy Singaporeans as listed in a recent poll by Reader's Digest. They said that except for TV host Gurmit Singh, who came in at No. 10, those in the top 10 could not be trusted.
Their comments were hurtful, considering that the No. 1 spot is held by Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong, and that others in the top 10 include ambassador-at-large Tommy Koh, former police commissioner Khoo Boon Hui, National Neuroscience Institute director Lee Wei Ling, Singapore's Ambassador to the United States Chan Heng Chee, Creative Technology chief executive officer Sim Wong Hoo and author Catherine Lim.
By the way, Neo is at No. 28, while The Flying Dutchman is at No. 30 and Ong at No. 55. Such remarks about reputable Singaporeans are uncalled for and call for a reprimand.
