Wah, Scroobal, now look at what you are saying!
LTK knew about YSL nonsense well before he named him to contest Hougang? You got proof or not? LTK has declared publicly that he didn't know YSL's nonsense and you are saying otherwise? You better have proof or witness to make such assertion PUBLICLY!
For the record, I didn't kick in so early to "ran shotgun" of YSL... least "mercilessly". I have even given him and WP good advice, remember? If you haven't notice, what LTK said during the press conference about the reasons of sacking YSL, most of the points come from my advice on my first blog post about the saga, which was written more than a week after the news broke off. I saw it coming... YSL was going to drag WP down with his nonsense of "no comment" and that smirk attitude.
Good heart never gets appreciated. I did my last bit of trying to save the situation by asking YSL to come clean, just before he kena sacked; as I saw it coming but people just "fired" me for that! What a shame!
Well, for those who think that WP has "set the standard" for PAP, nah, I think otherwise. WP has become the negative example for PAP to learn from their faults and demonstrated that what could happen to them if they mismanaged like WP did. Thus, PAP did a quick and professional clean cut right from the start. Nothing to do with "standards set by WP", rather like a living bad example set by WP's bad crisis management skill. If it is truly about the standards set by WP, then PAP would have sacked Palmer right away, instead of letting him to resign so gracefully. They chose to do this because they see the unprofessional way WP has done it, sacking him like that, hush hush...

WP did no such thing. YSL habit was well known. LTK knew of his nonsense well before he named him to contest Hougang. Until the law kicked in, our culture tolerated 2nd and 3rd wives. After the law kicked in, it became quite common especially for businessmen to have mistresses. Personal affairs even for the opposition is off limit to the press.
In YSL's case, there was a slow build over weeks by those within the party. The knives came out. Richard Wan finally ran the story when MSM refused. GMS then ran shortgun mercilessly until he got fried. It got worse when the translator suggested that she was coerced to give him. It then became untenable for WP and they did the right thing.
YSL was also silly. He should have just resigned and did a Palmer.
