Responsibility
3. a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible: the responsibilities of authority.
Minister ‘quits’ over Mumbai attacks
Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil has submitted his resignation taking “moral responsibility” for the Mumbai attacks that killed nearly 200 people.
The dust has just settled. An inquiry has yet to be carried out, given the focus on rebuilding and helping the injured and the families of the victims.
I compare this action taken by the Indian Home Minister to our very own Home Minister over the Mas Selemat escape.
When Mas Selemat escaped, he stopped short of an apology. (This should never have happened. I am sorry that it has.)
When the report made by a independent commission came out, he pinned the blame and on the ground level all the way up but the highest level(him) wasn’t to be blamed, and he promised to punish all of those responsible. He refused to accept any personal responsibility for the mistake and told us to move on. PM Lee said the same thing, our newspapers spared no time spinning the wool. (Mr Wong announced that junior officers “all the way up” to the supervisory and management levels of the WRDC will be disciplined and penalised.)
I leave you to decide and form your own opinion.
Which minister, if we disregard their huge disparity in pay, fit the job description of a public servant which includes this word: responsibility

Wong has no moral responsibility

Wong has no moral responsibility

he only needs to answer to 1 man. And if the man is ok, no matter how much mistakes or how many mistakes, he is still able to draw his fat salary and hold on to his post as if nothing has happen.

 

[counsel]

He refused to accept any personal responsibility for the mistake and told us to move on.

To accept personal responsibility would mean giving up the 2 million dollar salary. Is he willing to give that up

That is the right thing to do

Wong Kang Seng the best!...his Home Team respond time is impeccable, ask CSJ & Co., how soon they can mobilize an A team in response to s few non-violent protestors?. Violent ones, they will be, there, before you can blink your eyes...no pray, pray ok!

Never mind about moral values, titanium-clad job...

We are indeed blessed to have such a great Home Team leader, & we can sleep, walk, run peacefully, anywhere in SINGAPORE!..MAJULLAH!

Be thankful guys!
