He is a diehard opponent of the President. I am amazed the President chose to visit this man and order the IGP to investigate alleged ‘shooting’ outside the man’s house. He could have done it himself through any of his goons to draw sympathetic attention to himself, just as a famous supporter of SF had done previously. That guy has now fallen out with SF but was fortunate not to have been slapped across his face.
Surely, the President should order the IGP to investigate more horrendous crimes with ample evidence, and bring the culprits to justice, such as the murder in broad daylight of Hirunika’s father, a fellow Minister! The culprit is enjoying a ‘rest’ in Singapore.
