Juicy Questions

The recent round up of 80 men in Singapore by the police for having sex with an underaged girl makes me wonder aloud as follow:

1) Does the police need a fresh perspective to run the force hence rounding up a herd of men from various professions with some foreign talents thrown in. Maybe whilst serving their short jail term they can offer new ideas in running the force recommending changes and improvements eg. in the administration, IT system, education program of prisoners etc. It is hard to come by such a large pool of talents ranging from school principals, teachers, bankers, senior civil servants, grass root leaders, green activists, IT professionals, entreprenaurs. (Hey how come no accountants? Maybe they were spared because they did an audit first)

2) Is something terribly lacking in Singapore wives' performance in some aspects of marriage? If so maybe it calls for a panel of inquiry to find the ROOT cause of such breakdown. Surely it is not too much to ask given the train breakdown warrants 3 panels of inquiry.

3) Is our local newspaper running low in distribution revenue or are they running short of ideas and more news-worthy articles? Look at how they spice up the papers by splashing gigantic photos of the men, sparing no thoughts on how it impacts their families.

4) If things go a bit too far from here,will somebody in the police force be hauled up for grilling and somebody in the national press be given a slap on the wrist by somebody in the ruling party for destroying the image of our spick and span city state?

5) Am I being a real big idler and procratinator? I am supposed to start on my course assignment due soon. Instead I just can't get started and ramble about such juicy news!
