Reflect : I Was Accused Of Siding .......

[Wt_know]

you are right.

conditional apology like saying "soli lor" .... happy now?

 

i slapped you and subsequently apologised but i maintained my initiative to slap you was right.

 

what is with this wave of self-inflated righteousness that a conditional apology is permissible? Is this society so ridden with superficiality to the extent that certain individuals believe they could get away with a slap on the wrist by making a wristful apology just for the sake of it. an apology which is hollow on all counts for crying out loud.

 

Isn't the act of apologising an outward gesture of seeking forgiveness by extension? where is the element of self reflection and repentance which is so conspicuously absent? it is apparent in my opinion that such individuals are morally bankrupt.

"This added to the furore, even after Mr Baey subsequently explained on his Facebook - saying he did not agree with Sun's comment, but that he felt Singaporeans could be more open to criticism."

 

Aiya, give him the benefit of the doubt la. I suppose now they realize what's the REAL sentiment on the ground that caused them to almost fall below 60%. I guess that also means some of them have LOST TOUCH with the ground.

 

Good for the people I guess

 

 

Wow nowadays they can float?

 

Like the Shaolin kungfu monk that ran on plywood? Kids are impressed.

Do the sentance in red meant he is supposed to be good in PR and his EQ should be very good?

His EQ is good that is why Kenna called dog he still can reflect.

[KARTer]

And when you say there are more animals than humans in MIW camp, do you think they will reflect on it and be more open to criticism ?

Most likely, they will sue the pants off you.

there will always be lawyers happy to act on behalf of animals.... and shoot letters

[Porker]

Do we have politicians that break the record for apologizing in public for slip of their mouths?

[KARTer]

boh beh chow mean no horse run.. maybe break down liao become horse cannot run

many discussions in this thread about "beh".... but forget to honour the mother of all beh -------------------> MBT

[KARTer]

Do we have politicians that break the record for apologizing in public for slip of their mouths?

apology and repentence are quite related.... although no records have been kept so far on public apologies, but one great man still holds the record on demanding repentence

[KARTer]

KNN, just got rid of the other horse and here comes another one!

 

Weird logic seems to come out of horses' mouths nowadays. First, we have HDBs are affordable, and now Singaporeans should be more open to criticisms.

 

Insults and criticisms also cannot differentiate.

wait till ah tiongs insult miw, see this baey dares call miw to reflect??

[KARTer]

he apologised for the people that misunderstand him. not his word and intention.

in his mind, he is always right. but sorry for people who dont understand that

how else would an elite think of others of lower status in his mind, and regard himself?

[KARTer]

maybe he meant he agree that more dog than human in sg but he also agree with more human than dog? or was he meant dog=human or human=dog?..

half human/dog? OMG, he's a walking-dog in advance!! ............. if one day ah tiongws become the mojority and 'take control' over little red dot one way of another, his WD history helps him gain favours
