[S.T.D.]

Agree. But sadly, most S'poreans chose to focus on his inappropriate choice of language than the substance of his comments. Yet, each of his comments hit the nail on its head. It's the PAP or more accurately, Teo Chee Hean that ought to reflect on his behavior at the seminar - dodging the questions by answering the students with own questions. What the hell is he or for that matter any Minister there for if it's not their views or thoughts that the students are after. The people should be scrutinising this incident in this manner rather than criticising Reuben for his lack of respect.

To me, his choice of word showed his emotions.

Whether the word is offensive is up to the receiver. But I thought it truly reflected what Reuben feels of TCH. And that's what matters.

The pap must know that it shd command respect and not demand it when it is not deserving.

During my parent's era, they were respectful of the pap leaders because those leaders cared and worked for the well being of Singaporeans. LKY, TCH, GKS, EWB, SR, HSS, etc commanded respect.

Why are the present pap leaders despised by Singaporeans now? They shd do some true reflection and not blame Singaporeans!
