Has Wee Shu Min addressed Derek Wee’s main points?

Have been pretty late in talking about this,

Derek Wee's blog

Wee Shu Min's blog has been taken down, but her post has been replicated over so many forums and blogs, it's quite easy to find a copy. Here's one.

The outrage has been fueled by many factors. Her academic pedigree, her MP father, her strong language and lack of empathy, the recent deaths at the MRT stations, here and here.

Has Wee Shu Min's rabid attack on Derek Wee quelled any questions or provided any solutions for the narrowing gap between us and our neighbours? Especially in light of recent developments like the South Johor Economic Region and Indonesia's SEZs, which will serve to divert more foreign investments away.

Has Wee Shu Min addressed the employability issue for well-educated workers over the age of 40?

Has Wee Shu Min addressed the issue of Singaporeans not giving birth to enough babies and the accompanying host of problems?

Rather than see Derek Wee as an unmotivated whiner, she should perhaps take a step back and see whether the points raised by him are indeed problems. I don't think Derek Wee was asking for handouts or anything. He may be whining (or may not be), but the underlying issues are real. Anyway, I don't think she deserves to have her photos dugged up and splashed across the Web.
