Mystery — Where Were The Men-In-White in March 2015?
An Exposé Report of Their Strange Disappearance
They were always there for as long as I could remember. One or two of them would come to our house almost every week to talk to my dad, and neighbours. They asked him what issues he might have regarding anything really. Whatever my dad raised, they would promise to do something about it and come back to him with some answers. They always returned. Most times, my dad seemed quite happy with whatever actions reportedly taken.
I grew up accustomed to see them around the community. On some occasions, they would wear their all-white signature shirts and pants, or skirts for the ladies. Later, a book would be written about these Men-in-White, or MIW, members of the People’s Action Party (PAP) who formed the government of Singapore since 1959. The book “Men In White: The Untold Stories Of Singapore’s Ruling Political Party” chronicles the PAP’s struggles during its early years, its eventual rise to power and current success, and is an easy fascinating read which guarantees to spark the readers’ imagination.
