Comments on: The DPM and PM should answer questions instead of side-stepping them http://www.choongyong.com/2008/04/24/the-dpm-and-pm-should-answer-questions-instead-of-side-stepping-them/ Choong Yong welcomes you Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:21:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Gary Teoh http://www.choongyong.com/2008/04/24/the-dpm-and-pm-should-answer-questions-instead-of-side-stepping-them/#comment-728 Gary Teoh Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:55:09 +0000 http://www.choongyong.com/2008/04/24/the-dpm-and-pm-should-answer-questions-instead-of-side-stepping-them/#comment-728 All this media tried to divert the attention from the actual case by putting the blame on Low TK. If Low asked for the resignation of Wong, would the lame PM comply,? knowing that the answer is ' no ', so why answer him. Do you observe within few seconds, the joker shot back and said no answer, that settles everything, so wash hand liao. This is called accountability !!!

If the government wanted to extract full political mileage from his death, then this story of his escape was necessary to: a) Absolve themselves of his death (however it occured) b) Create a national concensus on the impact of his 'escape' and a forced sense of patriotic unity. This episode would also enable PAP to easily justify further draconian policies and 'anti-terror' legislation which continues to trample of human rights and political freedoms.

When one do not get the Answer to the Question asked, one should asked for the Answer again or rephrase the Question. Or one may ask for the anwer in a different way such as 'Why Not?' in the case of MP Low Thia Khiangs' Question to DPM Wong Kan Sengs' returned Question. MP Low Thia Khiang was very disappointing in this case. patriot. When one asked a question, one expects an answer.

When ask by DPM Wong Kan Seng if he believes that Mas Selamat died in prision he should say. 1. I don't know what to believe anymore. Should I believe that the garment employs completely inept prison superintendent and brainless prision officers who let a limping terrorist escape? or 2. It's easier to believe that Mas Selamat died while in custody than to believe the ineptness of the police, gurkha, army, navy and airforce cannot catch a limping biskit of a terrorist after 9 bloody weeks. Even with the help of state of the art, cutting edge technology. 3. It's easier to believe that than to believe that out of the tax-payer's money to pay your high salary and you don't have the decency and due diligence to check on prison toilets. 4. It's easier to believe than to believe that the police K9 unit never bothered to train blood hounds to track escapees. Instead they rely on mongrels and other cheapo breed dogs. Everybody knows that blood hounds are the best tracker dogs, everybody except maybe the folks at the home affairs ministry. So Mr Low Thia Kiang, please think things through before you ask a stupid question, you just might be able to whack a smart aleck of a minister on the side of the head.

I think you have put the exchanges in the right context than those reported. However, if only Mr Low would simply reply the PM with "He should". Cruedo to you.
