Finally someone in Singapore joined the league of high profile adulterers; The latest celebrities being Tiger Wood. Like him, our local breed comedian turned self taught director Jack Neo was made to publicly apologize in front of a group of journalists and reporters. Apart from the theatrics, tears and flash lights, I ponder why there is such a necessity. Shouldn’t the matter be conducted between the husband and the wife? Since when the people in the street has the right to know other’s extramarital affairs? Forgiveness can be begged in the privacy of their home, why involve the public?
“He is famous and he is a role model for youngsters.”
But they did not force others to take him as a role model. The public picks them as their role model. They are famous for their job only. They have no obligation to up keep their morality. In the end, it is revealed that they are, like the rest of us, less than perfect. When we make mistakes like infidelity, we don’t apologize to the whole world. So why should they?
