Of course maybe thats not your real agenda.
I am sure you are spot on, God!

Was Yaw previously from the PAP? Old habits die hard.
For all it is worth, any person with a balanced mind will see that distinctive difference.
Up till now, YSL still owes opposition supporters an explanation and proper apology on his saga.
No matter how you look at it, whether it is Michael Palmer vs YSL or PAP vs WP, it is so obvious that Michael Palmer and PAP have handled this saga very professionally. Of course you could say that PAP has the upper hand because it controls the media but look at it this way, it didn't have control over TRE or TOC or TRS. I believe it is not a coincidence that all three were hacked and down just a day before this saga was brought to light. TRE has claimed that they have information sent to them one week ago and just like what they did to YSL saga, they have to make verifications on these information and that took them one week on YSL saga.
PAP, knowing the risk that it will no longer able to cover up, go public on it. That is a very decisive move indeed. Unlike WP and YSL, their broken record of "no comment" become very annoying and really put doubts on their integrity.
PAP has managed to cut the damage short, not allowing people to form speculation or doubts on their integrity as a party. It was a very professional swift move and it could protect Michael Palmer right from the start by fending off any more questions on his private affairs by using that line, let him has his privacy... well because he is no longer office holder!
In terms of crisis management comparison, there is no doubt that PAP has matured performed much better than WP in similar situation comparison. You cannot face crisis with just no comment.
As for individual comparison between Michael Palmer vs YSL, for those who really knows YSL, he is not worth mentioning at all. The character flaws run deep down and it is just too smelly to be mentioned. You can just read up on what his ex-business partners say about him to get a slight idea on what a person he is. As for Michael Palmer, I can only comment on how I view him in close contact. Not much deep understanding from me though but let's keep it that way.

The comment by GMS has shown what a PAP dog he is,,,and he is now openly supporting PAP,,,so guess dont have to worry about him being an Oppo candidate cos he aint one,,he is just Mr Got More Shit,,,and he is sprouting more shit
If YSL wanted to protect the ID of the women, he would have resigned and PG from day one, even before the scandal hits the press. He might not have been able to save Angela, at least he could have saved the other two. The other two were exposed due to his delay.
Sure there were names bandied around then by the MSM but nothing was cast in stone, unlike this saga. That's how I read it.

I am sure they would have done better with you around offering your advice.
As we can see the diff between Yaw and Palmer.
Palmer is a much better man than Yaw. Yaw where?
So is PAP a much better party than WP. Huge contrast man.
Even on this forum, PAP supporters behave much better than WP supporters also la.

I don't think an admission is a stopgap for how far the media wants to dig. Look at Palmer's case. The press has been kinder to Palmer but more unkind to Laura Ong compared to the women linked to YSL.
At least for YSL's case, the identity of the women (there were 4 I think) will never be known or remain a speculation.
Woman 'was also dating another man' on Pg 2 of the ST today.
Really never give face to the girl. Poor Laura. :(
...
people always like or pretend to be idealistic. idealism contradict pragmatism. really, PAP or Opposition all same. it's always self-interest first followed by cronies interest, party's interest, country and people's interest last of all.
Once again the PAP designated shit stirrer GMS decided to give credit to PAP for their fast decisive and open actions in Palmer's scandal.
GMS conveniently neglected the following -
Someone sent TNP a tip-off about Palmer. Then what happens next is bloody obvious. TNP tell the MIW. MIW assess the situtation and know that there is no way to cover it up in today's world wide web. If TNP is not running the news, the tipper could have just gone international or leak the news anonymously to the net.
Hence MIW decided to take the 'moral highground' by coming clean. GMS who is obviously trying to get some scraps from the MIW then use this to por MIW LP to the sky. He never questioned the integrity, character and morals of Palmer, never questioned PAP's screening process, never asked anything. Just sweep under carpet and turn the focus back to WP and YSL.
Trust GMSI rather trust a snake.
Not surprising from the PAP media.
In opposition case, the opposition member (YSL) is the target. In PAP case, the target is the person who brought down the PAP MP (which PAP blames Laura for).
In YSL case, the media also dragged down WP female candidates. If Palmer had an affair with a PAP female MP eg. Sim Ann, the media will face its toughest challenge in history and Lee Boon Yang will probably commit suicide.
