Temasek Review wrote: | George Yeo forced to apologize to molest victim for curt reply on Facebook after TR leaked the story
Temasek Review
Saturday, 16 January 2010
Singapore’s Foreign Minister George Yeo has apologized to the molest victim Miss Ang for his curt reply to her in a private message on her Facebook 10 hours after The Temasek Review broke the story, sparking a massive outcry in cyberspace.
On 11 January 2010, Miss Ang posted a comment on Mr Yeo’s Facebook seeking help to expedite police investigations in a pending molest case. Miss Ang had lodged a report in November last year and had yet to receive a reply from the police.
Instead of offering some words of consolation and support to her, Mr Yeo gave a one-liner reply:
“Please see your MP”.
Mr Yeo’s rather insensitive reply drew flak from netizens who lambasted him for lacking “emotional intelligence” on our article which has drawn nearly 100 comments so far.
Out-of-touch felt that Mr Yeo’s lack of empathy is reflective of the entire PAP government:
“The Govt is getting out of touch with the common people. A story is told that if you put a frog in a pan of water and slowly raise its temperature, the frog can be cooked without being aware that it is unable to feel the changes in the ambient temperature….Its not cool to act “corporate” style by short curt but efficient answers such as Mr George Yeo gave to Ms Ang. We need smart mangers, BUT leaders capable of compassion and able to show caring feelings.”
As Foreign Minister, Mr Yeo is paid around S$2 million a year, more than 4 times the annual salary of U.S. President Barack Obama. It is not too much for Singaporeans who are paying his wages to expect a little bit of human decency, empathy and compassion from him.
If we had not published an article yesterday to publicize the matter to the public, Mr Yeo would never have realized his mistake.
Perhaps Mr Yeo may like to thank us for helping him brush up his PR skills so that he will be more careful when talking down to “lesser mortals” again. |
