Technology to make govt more honest

This technology had tripped up Jon which I hoped he got a good free education from here which could save him some money and reputation in future. A note of thanks from him would be nice but I would be surprised to get one.

Now if this isn't a set up, which is quite unlikely but one cannot be completely sure yet, it is tripping up other fellows big time - Dr.Teo Ho Pin and beyond....Janandas Devan probably just following orders from Minister eh?

TRE has the story: Did the Chief of Government Communications help draft Dr Teo’s press statement?

People can be trapped by the digital finger prints they leave all over the place unaware. I am thankful we have all these technologies. They are surely helping us to keep government honest at a new level and also is additional protection for our liberty. Sure the government rue about this but so what? Who put you there and what is the purpose of your job or as Dr. Goh might put it your calling.

I think over time we are just paying our ministers and trying to make it difficult for them not to be like the rotten politicians in many other places. We can never be sure we have enough patriots for every portfolio. As we come into contact with teachers, doctors and nurses more often, we see the same logic in operation. Few are called but we need far more than those called. Right now many called social workers will be joined by many who should never be in the profession as Chan Chun Sing tries to make the needed numbers. I repeat myself - too few are called. We need leashes. C'est la vie.


Update: 3:50pm

Just got this from Ravi. Good that Teo Ho Pin got help from a good lawyer but I found myself quickly tiring of this issue. If this wasn't a Sunday, I wouldn't bother.

  1. We should not be bothered about the people in the own camp say, they are all under the whip. There are so many question which have notbeen answered by them. They should have the balls the reveal all the information instead if bits to support they own claims.
    1. Reveal the MA figures for all TCs
    2. Reveal details (ownership, director, shareholders) of all companies given tenders with TC
    3. Reveal the individual loses of all TCs in investments
    4. Reveal bonus packages of TC and PS staff
