This is not the first time we've been introduced to Shanmugam. We know he's one of the most powerful, if not most powerful, government ministers in Singapore. We know what he's like.

If two young women arguing with him and calling him a coward has really destabilised and upset him so much, there are plenty of rooms in Ridout Road for him to retreat into to cry into pillows or do whatever he needs to do to regulate his emotions and return to mental equilibrium. If that's not enough, he's in a much better financial position than most of us to afford therapy. It's not the end of the world.

The man is an authoritarian and a bully; his fingerprints are all over some of Singapore's most repressive legislation and he's the most enthusiastic defender of the state's right to kill. He has all the resources at his disposal: just look at how quickly the mainstream media coverage and online trolls have been activated the moment he posted on his Facebook page and dog-whistled for the harassment of two young activists.

If you've rushed to join the pile on to heap criticism/condemnation/concern trolling on these activists, without waiting for them to tell their side of the story—why? To distance yourself from them and show you're a 'better' activist? To show you're more strategic, that you've never let a rude word cross your lips? To show you're one of the 'good' ones, not like those naughty, bad people? To assert or suggest that government ministers should automatically be accorded the highest of respect and decorum, no matter what?

We're seeing all this media/social media circus now because Shanmugam was forced into an interaction that did not take place on his terms like he's used to. Because those two activists did not cower and petition politely like he expects Singaporeans to. So now he sets the narrative and directs our ire towards two ordinary citizens who have nowhere near his power, platform or resources, and then sits back and lets the online trolls and fellow Singaporeans mete out the punishment for him.

You don't have to like or agree with how the activists behaved. You don't have to endorse it. But you don't have to join in the public pile-on just because a powerful man blew a whistle.
