An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
But as this latest episode with The Independent shows, how can the public trust the authorities to be “judicious” in its enforcement of the rules when its actions are cloaked in opacity, and based on what looks like unsubstantiated tip-offs?
Has the MDA really learned its lesson in being more open and forthcoming as the Manpower Minister had advised?
More importantly, would the MDA reconsider its notification to The Independent to register as the MDA’s actions seem to be based on what is apparently a wrong claim and indeed wrong information – that the “specific information” it had received which gives it cause for concern over foreign interest to fund The Independent” is in fact unsubstantiated?
And would the MDA care to explain to the public how it came to decide on the actions it took based on such apparently false information?
If, however, the MDA is certain that the “specific information” it received is truthful and concrete, would it care to share it with the public, so as to allay concerns and suspicions of ulterior motives behind its actions?
