WP Gerald Giam asked on 1 August whether the former Sri Lankan President was accorded any privileges, immunities and hospitality in Singapore following his resignation.
MFA responded that former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was not accorded any privileges, immunity or hospitality.
More than 2 weeks later, he posted MFA's reply along with a detailed account of Rajapaksa's convoy upon his arrival in Singapore. Yet he also noted that Gotabaya Rajapaksa was STILL president at the time when he arrived in Singapore, not a FORMER president.
Which makes you wonder at his intention.
Is there anything strange about the president of a country using the VIP complex or terminal? Rajapaksa was still president. He hadn't resigned yet.
Is it unthinkable that the Sri Lanka High Commission here would have made security arrangement for their president including engaging Certis Cisco riders?
So what was Gerald's intention when he posted the details irrelevant to his question on a FORMER president? To cast doubt on the answer given by the Minister for Foreign Affairs to his question?
If he has any further questions, the right thing for him to do is to follow up with another, very specific question to the minister.
To do a Facebook post instead, such as he did (where details irrelevant to his question are placed side by side with his question) shows a lack of integrity and an intention.
