Hougang residents seem unconcerned with MP scandal

Can you trust a person with low (or no) moral standing you represent you? He can cheat on his spouse, can he also cheat on other things? Do we have any lack of things to cheat? The first time a person cheats, paths way for the subsequent attempts. If we condone once, can we condone again?

As a public figure, people are watching him, and even looking up to him, we are misleading the public and lowering, condoning such behavior, degrading our moral value system, if he continues to stay in office. If he continues to stay in office, how will it affect the reputation of WP? In the first place, this incident is a terrible shame even if he is not a public figure!

While it's true that nobody is perfect. And everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps he should indeed be given second chance, or more chances to change and become a better person. But perhaps he should do other job that carries less sacrity.

It's best to let someone who has capability and good moral standing do this job instead. I'm believe that we still have other capable Singaporeans who can serve our national and social interests as well as, if not better than, him.

Calling those who are supporting Yaw inspite of the fact that he is an adulterer

If those women involved are your wives or sisters or mothers, would you say

"NO ONE IS PERFECT, HE IS A GOOD MP, LET'S GIVE HIM ONE MORE CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF"

I totally agreed that most men have flings but if you get caught, just be prepared to bite the bullet.

For those of you who continues to be in a state of self-denial, arguing that is it Ok as long as he doing a good job as an MP, and this being his personal affair(s), look at it this way. In the 2 cases that have surfaced, one involves a fellow party member, and the other involves someone who was helping him to translate his parliamentary speech. We cannot say these are not linked to official business. Which means that this guy cannot, or will not, seperately official work and this primal desires. What makes you think that when he is meeting the people, and whenever he meets a female resident seeking his help, in his mind he is not thinking of something else ?
Furthermore, it shows a lack of discretion, to be asking a neighbour, who has not a party member, to translate parliamentary speeches. What he says in the parliament is of national concern, how can you just let anyone read and translate before it is even said in the parliament. It is really out of necessity, or was it just an excuse he used to get close to the PRC woman, whom the probably had been eyeing for sometime ? Isn't that abuse of his capacity as a MP ?

I am an opp voter. I am saddened that some of the opp voters are really taking side. If today Yaw were in PAP camp, I am sure thousands of us will demand that he has to step down.
Ask yourselves, why Yaw is so special?
Would someone tell me how good Yaw as a MP is? I only know he is good in flirting with people wives.
He faltered he has to bear the consequence. By continuing with his MP work as if nothing happen is a clear indication that this bloke has no dignity and self-respect.
I have lost respect for LTK for not having the gut to remove Yaw from his party.
WP will crumble steadily.

Are you sure all the 'white' uniform never cheat ???

What about Shamugam's love affair??

Adultery is unacceptable, as are other sins. And WP has done a good job of righting the wrong.

That said, shall we put everyone to the moral test?
1) Have you ever told a lie?
2) Have you ever cheated?
3) Have you ever looked at someone with lust (which is committing adultery in the heart)?
4) Have you ever stolen?
5) Have you ever said a curse word and/or used God's name in vain?

I think we can safely say that we are all liars, cheaters, adulterers, thieves and blasphemers. So how are the MIWs any better? I'm merely voting for the side who truly understands our needs, did their job and upheld justice despite the accused being a friend. That takes guts.

The mistake by Yaw looks so miniscule compared to mistakes made by these Ministers. Of course there need to be two different standards or double standard as what you wrote. One is a national blunder, the other is an unconfirmed personal blunder. Order of magnitude entirely different!

Well, are we sure that PAP MPs and members are so clean? Some are actually worst off than WP. SPH is next ! Born losers !!!!!

What this guy from WP did to another woman concerns his personal life, it's his business.
But the mistakes PAP guys made on policies concerned Singaporeans' lives and so they're our business.
Therefore, it's wrong to say that Singaporeans have a “soft spot” for the WP.
It all depends on the matter concerned.

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill, my dear friend, this is his private life and it is not that he squander away millions of dollars from the Town council he is in charge...Sigh

They are more concern about how gov suck our money... that affect us most!!!

It is an event organised by his working group, so who are the people who are participating? How can the report showns that he is forgiven by the majority? Good or bad leaders of various types do has a diehard fans mah!

When a guy fool around, have affair, Is Already Wrong!! and the most saddest part now is If the person is in authority. Refuse to admit... plus some people are saying is ok.. this is the most Saddest.

BASED ON MY TRUE EXPERIENCE SINCE 1995, PAP GOVT, ITS MINISTRIES AND AGENCIES DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY INVOLVED ALSO REFUSE TO ADMIT SIMPLE/SILLY/STUPID/SHAMEFUL/SCANDALOUS MISTAKES AS FOLLOWS :-
1) Money that did not belong to them, they also wanted a "lion's share" - "GREED".
2) Those who made "greedy" mistakes were asked to resign "on their own accord".
3) Tried to deny that they made mistakes, including the breach of laws created by them.
4) Probably also tried to alter their internal official records to be consistent with their denials,
5) Used legal & judicial process to act as "roadblocks, obstacle courses & no-through-roads"
6) Seized opportunities to try and cover up/seal up their mistakes - Dishonest/Dishonourable.
7) In desperation to keep mistakes under wraps, they made more scandalous mistakes.
8) When cornered, they applied delaying tactics to keep mum - no acknowledgment or reply.
9) The foregoing involves all inside the Istana and outside the Istana, including CPIB too.
10) Last but not least. even the Courts and Judiciary are also "jointly" involved - "SHAME".

ANY GOVT THAT REFUSES TO ADMIT ITS MISTAKES WILL FOREVER BE DISHONEST.

Hougang residents r the smartest among the smartest ppl in singapore. They want concrete evidences before they make a conclusion. Their expectations r practical ie they want an MP who could perform to meet their needs and one who could take care of his constituency well. They could see the differences between private and official affairs. U dont expect him to be an angel when those ppl who r not angels themselves r jumping the gun and accuse him of being guilty without the concrete evidences. Another 100 women could claim that they hv sex with Yaw, but what is more impt is the evidences. I would still vote him in 2016 although chances r he might not contest in the next election. He shd at least complete his term by continue his good work. We all here love him for what he is doing for the constituency although we dont agree with his sexual behaviour if it is true. Hope he turns over the new leaf. Give him a chance but i would not vote for him if he continues to hv more affairs with other woman when he is married. Cheers to Hougang residents

Bill Clinton had extra-marital affair during his political career. But during his term in office US's economy was performing well and jobs were plentifully.

Junior Bush had not committed adultery, but when he was President of US, the US economy experienced recession and brought the whole world into recession as well.
Whatever surplus created by Clinton changed to defecit at the end of Bush's term

Who would you prefer to be in charge?

For opposition..to err is human. For PAP, to err is inhuman.
Cannot understand why double standard.

Honestly the concern here is not who sleeping with who? Let not forget the price of transports,bus, taxi ,ERP and COE had gone up after election, now report school fees may goes up for Uni , let also not forget your CPF retention for retirement fund, let us also ,understand the limitation of our CPF usage and for self employ our medical saving contribution and special account . The issues of over crowed public transportation, and long waiting time for bus services still remain . And we don't have to compare what parties to ruling party or even other countries , the fact is if they fight for GE seat and want to lead than solve all these problems , that is all , just do it .if cannot than lost vote simple. whom we all support ,is not a issue, but end of the day we all pay the same prices. i am not commenting who is bad or good , but the facts is we all can see and feel the pinch daily. isn't that true?
