Academic Director of SMU Executive Development Michael Netzley said, refering to Law Minister K. Shanmugam’s Facebook comment on the Anton Casey saga, that this further sends a signal that Anton should give a genuine apology that meets the expectations of the local community. He added: “Should a genuine and sincere apology emerge, this would be a good time to demonstrate to Mr Casey or anyone similar just how warm and understanding the people of Singapore can be. I think this is an opportunity to shine. Responding to foolishness with grace, in my view, would be a great response.”
