PM's son's army gaffe

Hung said:

2LT Lee Hong Yi, better known as PM Lee's son, had fired off an e-mail within the military network lambasting the "quality of leadership" in the SAF to the top brass, including the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Force.

The above comment is a complete misrepresentation of what the original post said (14 July 10:33 am).

What "conspiracy theory" is he talking about? I don't see any hint of any conspiracy theory in the original post!

The original post said that Li, being the VIP that he undoubtedly is, would certainly know that when he becomes the future leader, what he does now will be noted and brought up. If he does nothing, people will say PM's son also closed one eye.

"so he die die must make a big hooha out of it." - that is absolutely spot on.

There's no conspiracy theory here, just some solid facts and a bit of wisdom.

And bringing up a comparison with son of a bus driver merely proves that he completely missed the point.

"A conspiracy theory attempts to attribute the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually political, social, or historical events), or the concealment of such causes from public knowledge, to a secret, and often deceptive plot by a covert alliance of powerful or influential people or organizations."

The original poster made guessworks on the motives and attempts to present it as if it is some deceptive plot by Hongyi. Thats fit the definition of conspiracy theory.

Calling imaginary extrapolation of fact based on biased premises "a bit wisdom" is laughable.
