Take a leaf from Png Eng Huat, who was attacked by MSM unfairly regarding his character, he was so gracious to dismiss them as part of the political game, you dun see him sending lawyer's letter to demand for an apology.
PAP Ministers should wisely spend their time to better govern Singapore, why spend energy on frivolous, sesame seed and green bean, insignificant things.
