As I flipped over MyPaper this morning, I was not surprised to read the continuing report of the article on the busting of the online sex syndicate and the profile of the client involved. Since the start of the report, the media spotlight and public scrutiny has been trained on that particular principal of this incident and by now whose name may have been revealed through some detailed searches online now.
I am even more surprised that the article in Mypaper mentioned that there was another senior public official, allegedly from the Home Team who may also be involved as a client of the syndicate. The same article further surprises me as it mentions that a famous personality from a reputable or well-known family who is involved in advocating some civil movements may also be involved as a client of the syndicate.
After some weeks, I am surprised that the identity of the IT woman executive allegedly to be behind the Peter Lim Sin Pang and Ng Boon Gay incident has not been revealed online though a pixellated photo of an alleged woman could be found online. Before the media releases the photo of the IT executive woman behind the SCDF and CNB corruption case and the photos of the high profile principal, senior public officials, famous personality and others, I believe netizens will be busy hard at work these days, trawling through Google, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, Twitter for any digital trace which may give some clues to the revelation of the identities of these personalities behind these two recent cases involving senior public officials and government scholars.
Nobody wants to be in the shoes of Peter Lim Sin Pang, Ng Boon Gay, the principal, the senior public officials and the rich and famous involved in these two recent incidents, but every Singaporean is curious enough to find out who these Singaporeans are. That basic and primate needs of curiosity manifest into hours of searches online by netizens for the names of those involved.
Very coincidentally, the two cases relate to IT: in the case of the alleged corruption of SCDF and CNB, the cases involves around the tendering procedure related to IT in the two government statutory boards. In the latter case of the online sex scandal, it is IT on which the online sex scandal thrives. However in both these two cases, it is IT for which netizens leverage to find out more about the people behind the two cases!
I think this is not Kaypoh-ism but curiosity. With just the click of a mouse, the typing of a phrase in the search bar of Google, technology gives Singapore netizens a good reason to be curious.
