		<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree very much with your analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The parties involved lost sight of AWARE&#039;s interests. Because of the media spotlight, they had to dig into their positions and lost sight of the fact that there are many possible solutions to resolve both parties&#039; interests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The least both sides could have done was to agree to disagree, and had a civil EGM.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would have recommended mediation and even now, I hope that they will consider mediation in resolving any leftover issues.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This is my sincere view. They should have asked the brotherhood to come in to arbitrate and mediate over this matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Usually when both sides fight in the gaming world that is what we do. And when they come in, they will usually impose a ceasefire. Of course, it is never for free. As they are quite greedy people, but usually the results are good and everyone is most satisfied.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The main problem with the old guard is they got that publicity narcissist Siew Kum Hong to represent Mrs Singam, Dana and Ji ilin. He only seems to be blowing his own trumpet. now with the MOE pulling out from all aware&#039;s previous innitaitives. You tell me how does it look on aware?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The joke is delusional people like Siew Kum Hong is still insisting this is a new dawn for democracy, transparency and heralds a new golden age for civil society.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some people I think need to be comfortable with their own skin. If only that is possible Cat&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;To Nicole:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ever seen the behaviour of politicians in the parliaments of South Korea, Japan or Taiwan? Or even Westminister?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Men or women, your passion will be kindled when what you hold dear is threatened.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PS.  Like the saying goes, when a man makes his point forcefully, he is being assertive.  When a woman does the same, she is being aggressive.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with you Catherine. I wonder if men would have reacted the same way.
Well...lesson learnt : never get into a cat fight with women :)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Agree. I also think that Catherine&#039;s analyses on this matter is off the mark.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue is more about ethics and morality.  Graciousness can take a back stage when ethics and morality are not addressed first.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Graciousness is &quot;good to have&quot; but ethics and morality are &quot;MUST Have&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
