Singapore.  (20 July 2010 0900 hrs).  The crisis continues with a Member of Parliament (MP) questioning the arrest of the photographer at yesterday's parliamentary sitting.  Responding to the MP's query, the Minister for Environment and Water Resources replied that he photographer was arrested for safety issues and not privacy issues.  It is interesting to note that the response came from the Minister for Environment and Water Resources and not the Minister for Home Affairs.

Once again my take is that the MHA's PR Dept has failed to do a proper stakeholder analysis.  As a result, the Minister's (albeit the wrong spokesperson) response once again failed to address the correct stakeholder concern about the possible "abuse of authority."

In addition, as I advocated in my research on the perfect information environment, other cases of alledge police misconduct is coming to light.  A comment by "Shawn Tan" was posted on 20 July 2010 at 0857 hrs citing his own personal experience.
