The state media is now busy spinning stories about Seng Han Thong's 70-year-old asssailant, painting this incident as an isolated case of a lone deranged man, and not becos of growing public anger and outrage with govt policies which turned Singaporeans into 3rd class citizens . These are what is reported so far:
1. He is a mental case being admitted to IMH a couple of times.
2. He committed this act because he is upset about not getting the $200 hongbao, and not because he was denied of any financial assistance by the MP.
3. The assailant is a loner wierdo, and neighbours do not know much about him.
Do you all know why they are spinning this tale that Seng Han Thong's assailant is a mental case?
So that they can commit him into IMH for life without the need to go to trial to convict him. If they convict him in court, then this old man may spill all the beans out on what Seng did to him, and it could be damaging to the party, especially when election is rumored to be near.
So with the help of the state media, they are making the assailant out to be a nutcase, and then put him inside IMH for the rest of his life with the keys thrown away. Then the public will not know what the MP did that drove this old man to want to harm him in this manner.
Remember
Boon Suan Ban case against ex CJ Yong.
