Extended again? Makes one feel like as they dug into this over the past three months the unexpected and complex surfaced. Perhaps someone can write a book on this sometime? This is ridiculous. The WP is playing shrewdly as usual.
Yet there is another more plausible reason for the delay. They are not giving the investigation priority. Some officials many be agreeing to and canceling interviews. This is really bad. If you haven't done anything wrong, surely you want to get this behind you. The public is very interested. Hoping that we would forget is a waste of time. I am blogging about it to help the busy me remember!
Update: 11am
Many remember and are rightly disgusted. Three hours after Today shared this just on one forum we have the following.
- Zhiyi Deng The dirt is too much to be swept under the carpet, so they need more time to find a bigger carpet. I'm not surprised if they extend it till 2016!!!
- Guo Xiongwei <<“Investigations do take time, I’m sure the Government is considering this very seriously.”>>

Public unhappiness works. See the PM statement via MND. Let's see we are just getting a case of right by the letter but not the spirit of the regulation come May 13

I hate it whenever a ST headline is qualified with quote marks.
In the first place, the committee looking into this is has no credibility. It was just a scheme to help the government wiggle out of an inconvenient and potentially embarrassing spot.
Now I like to see how the WP will respond when parliament sits on the 13th. Meanwhile the blogosphere here would be alight over this subject.
IMO, the story goes somehing like this. The investigative committee knows this is a public witchhunt. Even though they can find no wrongdoings in the AIM saga, the committee knows that the public wants to see a scapegoat sent to the slaughter. This is indeed a lose-lose dilemma, which is the reason for the delay in issuing a public judgement.
