Do you understand what integrity means? It also means that if you have made a mistake, just admit it, apologize, seek forgiveness and move on. Those without integrity will just try to come up with all lame excuses for their mistakes made. That's the difference between integrity and the lack of it.

BTW, that's where YSL failed so badly.

Goh Meng Seng

I don't understand why you say "that's where YSL failed so badly".

If he didn't admitted to his wife, apologized and sought forgiveness, why do you think his wife is still willing to stand by him?

Are you hurt in any manner by his philandering ways that an apology to you is necessary?

Are you hurt in any manner by PS's & CSM's citation (with permission) of other people's works without proper attribution such that forgiveness must be sought from you?

Can you please identify the manners in which you are hurt by their actions so that I can better understand what 'integrity' means?

Just to add, your gay partner, the one which you defend, said WP supporters/members which it named after its own breed (insect) did not defend WP enough. So before you come here to argue, please discuss your script the first thing you two get up from your bed, to avoid contradicting each other.

You have to resort to infer I have some sort of gay partner. How despicable you are. As a WP member or an ex that you claim to be, it's best that you stay out of defending WP, it makes WP looks very bad.

Yes, that is a reasonable step to take. The idea is a good start for consideration but Pritam didn't deliver it proper and it distracted focus from the original issue. Pritam should not try to explain it away that it is not "illegal" and "has the permission" from author but just apologize for not citing the credits to the blogger. He doesn't even need to mention the blogger's name if the writer doesn't prefer so.

But as Sadist said here, it is pretty disgusting for WP members and supporters to defend Pritam's act so much so that it makes one wonder what kinds of First World Parliament are they offering to Singapore.

Goh Meng Seng




Finally a resonable post.

I suspected that it might be the assistants behind this. It has happened on a number of occasions and continues to occur in first world parliaments.

If that is the case, WP has to come out and explain this and move on. People would understand that no MP can do everything and there is allowance to recruit and pay for legislative asst for this very purpose.

I am sure just like the Denise incident, if PAP MPs had done that, we would be asking for an explanation.

I am also quite suprised that we people are not aware that when you lift whole paragraphs, with or without the original author's content, it must be attributed whether an academic exercise or otherwise.

On another note, if GMS wants to serve the needs of Singaporeans he should be badgering the PAP over the Denise/TPL incident and it occurred under his watch as he was secretary general. I consider that unfinished business.

Haha, don't be that sure yet. I think you will hate even more to see them lose.

Parliamentary privilege is to have immunity from prosecution of defamation, that's ok. But that doesn't mean that others could not comment on what they say in parliament. Well, you know, even with parliamentary privilege, you could be censure by the Parliamentary privilege committee.... did you forget what happen to Ling HD?

Goh Meng Seng



I'd advise, hey not advise, silly humble me, just persuade them not to sue you because you'll lose. I hate to see a friend lose. It has been accepted for decades freedom of expression and cut-n-paste on any internet medium with or without citing the source. It has been established for parliamentary privilege for everything a member of house says in the house be exempt from suit except when deemed against house etiquette by the Speaker, but at most ordered to be escorted out the house to cool down by the Serjeant-at-Arms on order of the Speaker. My best advice for you if you're still interested, try to win seat therein.

First, I never claimed to be a member or ex-member. Second, I have not defended WP. That's why you are gay, get it?

I'd hate to see any friend suing any other friend, whoever wins or loses. I'd advise all to cool down, sit down, have a drink, talk it over and settle. At worst, agree to disagree.

Well, you know, even with parliamentary privilege, you could be censure by the Parliamentary privilege committee.... did you forget what happen to Ling HD?

Didn't you read my posting properly before replying? Ling HD was the case I was referring to. Speaker Tan SK ordered him to be escorted out of Parliament in that sitting (note, not expelled from Parliament) and the parliamentary priviledge committe to investigate and censure him. That's all.

Have to pity the animal. It's losing every discussion thread and have to either give either non-replies to those it pretends to be higher and mightier than, or ambiguous, blabbering replies to those who still try to reason with one not interested in reason.

A tsunami of sea water is comprehensible. A flood of disjointed text as a weapon to overwhelm counter arguments leaves opponents gasping for air. Instead of crunching numbers, PAP's representative in the Opposition Goh Meng Seng has invented the crunching alphabet tactic. Brilliant!

I don't think you understand me well. I have never changed, as principled as ever.

I am against PAP for its many policies which I don't agree in principle; though I agree some of their policies but in terms of the greater principles of Democracy, I am against their acts against Democracy and attempts to undermine Democratic development in Singapore.

I decided to take a break after the first GRC has been breached by WP, which is significant in terms of democratic development. However, the behaviours of various WP MPs, the indiscretion of YSL, poor adherence to the basic democratic principles of transparency, accountability and maintaining integrity are all too disappointing.

Yes, we need more opposition MPs in parliament but NO, we cannot tolerate womanizers, people who are intellectually dishonest, lack integrity, people who cannot get their numbers and principles right and people who just cannot think straight, talk straight...etc to be the representatives of the people, regardless of whether they are from the ruling party or opposition.

I have just watched the movie on Iron Lady. Margaret Thatcher said: "Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become...habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! What we think we become. My father always said that, and I think I am fine." This come close to what Buddha has taught us.

If we choose to be silent (or worse, even defend them) on the various flaws of these opposition MPs then we shall become the accomplices of bringing down the democratic development of our nation.

The joker will do anything to be noticed. He goes around flaming people and it looks to me he is hoping to be sued by WP MPs, knowing that PAP controlled court will not award any decision in favour of WP. Obviously he is not worth a cent to WP who continues to ignore him.. then now he tries to get further attention by asking someone to let him sue. He is like a child seeking attention and he is going beserk because WP continues to ignore him no matter what he does. LTK should just give him a tight slap to make him happy.

What you wrote is absolute garbage. Let me draw an analogy. You saw your former neighbour and ex-classmate throw a cigarette butt on the floor at the hawker centre. You are screaming blue murder and letting everyone know and you are relentless. You however are also aware that there is a gang that extorts money from the hawkers on the guise of protection money. You acknowledge their presence and you nod as you past them.

These are isolated incidents if any. People learn from it and move on. I wrote off YSL when you were still friends with him. The way you behave one would have thought that YSL was raping school kids and WP was covering his crime. Grow up.

I don't think you understand me well. I have never changed, as principled as ever.
