I believe him more

I read the article on The New Paper about Pierre Png's run-in with a Honda Civic driver.

Both had different versions of what had happened. Basically, Pierre Png claimed that he signalled before he changed lanes and kept a distance of at least 2 cars' allowance when he cut into the Honda's way, but the other driver alleged that he did not signal at all and caused him to slam on the brakes to stop suddenly.

The motorist's picture was not shown on the paper, but Pierre Png's was.

I am more inclined to believe Pierre Png's version after reading the article.

Because of Pierre Png's recount of the motorist's behaviour, that he only 'looked straight' when Pierre Png confronted him.

'Looking straight' is the common behaviour of errant students whenever they committed an offence.

They would just keep quiet and give you a stubborn 'so-what' look by looking straight to show that they disrespect you, and refuse to even look at you.

It's typical of this type of students.

Yes, I believe Pierre Png the moment I read that. Because I have seen too many of such 'looking straight' behaviour when they are clearly at fault.

Using cliches like 'Being an actor does not mean that you can murder and get away with it' is disgusting. It sounds really childish, immature, and tries too hard to win the support of the ignorant or equally immature.

Just because he is in the dark does not make him superior or more believable.

The New Paper of course has a voice. It cannot demonstrate outright biasness. But any literally sensible person will be able to read between the lines that they lean towards the celebrity as well. But my judgement is not swayed by the journalists in any way.

Being an actor is vulnerable. There are always people who want to use their popularity against them. Actors are mere human beings. How saintly do you want them to be? What 'social responsibility' - as if they have to be role models in whatever they do, and the cheek of him to say so. Pierre Png is already the perfect role model for all Singaporean men when he gave part of his liver to his then-girlfriend. Did they even follow?
