PE 2011: TJS and TT @ TOC Face to Face Part 1

At TOC Face to Face Part 1, I think it is true that TJS reacted rather poorly to firstly, TT's interruption and secondly, to the host's appeal to come back to the issue later. However, one must always keep in mind that he over-reacted precisely because he was and probably still is very passionate about the issue of the place and usefulness of ISA in Singapore. So, shouldn't we ask, are his arguments valid? As TT rightly pointed out, it is a serious matter that deserves serious consideration.

At the same time, shouldn't Singaporeans consider the reaction of TT during the forum? Did TT really present himself better than TJS? Personally, I prefer someone who might be overly-passionate about what is right than someone who is cold and evasive about everything. Also, it was him who interrupted TJS.

Therefore, if the race is between TT or JS, the choice is clear. Unfortunately, or fortunately, there are 2 more Tans in the contest.
