Dear Editor,
It has become commonplace to the point of being outright comical and pointless to listen to the weekly press conferences of the vice president who clamours to be addressed as ‘Doctor’, having been the recipient of an honorary degree from an unknown and unregistered university in India. He is so obsessed with being called a Dr. and having it affixed in front of his name shows that he is a fake who cannot be trusted. It is worthwhile noting that the former US presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and many Secretaries of State and National Security Advisor including Condoleezza Rice, have been awarded honorary doctorates yet none of them has used it in front of their names like what the Vice President continues to do.
The Mr. SU Gate has held many important titles as well as fake ones such as Champion of the Earth, but with garbage spread all over Georgetown during his tenure, some contend that he is the Champion of Dirt. It has been known for a very long time that when it comes to governance, it is his way or the highway. There has been no answer to what was revealed in SU’s interview with Vice News Reporter Isobel Yeung, except for placing the blame on the reporter who he claimed had an agenda. In conclusion the honcho and de facto president is abrasive, arrogant, and boorish to the point that no one, not even some members of the cabinet and senior party officials have confidence, trust, or believe him, but they would not say so publicly for fear of reprisals. This is the type of fear he has orchestrated against senior party officials and members of the cabinet.
