SGH Hep C Cluster: Don'tconflate accountability with naming and shaming



Nowadays the call for 'naming and shaming in public' seems to be the fashionable thing to do - all in the name of accountability or transparency, never mind the circumstances.

It's like a silent infection that spreads on social media and goes undetected for months and months and years even with casualties falling by the wayside and frankly speaking, no one can be held accountable.

To put it in another way, 'naming and shaming' is public trial by media where everyone online is an expert and a judge.
