Tan Tock Seng Hospital dismisses blogger Roy Ngerng

[flinger]

I think whichever way they do it, there will be speculation. The method they chose seems to be the better one comparatively.

If they chose to fire and keep quiet until the bloggers release the news, it would come across as TTSH is in collusion the Govt and that the Govt is doing underhanded things behind the back.

This will start another fire, the current method stops the fire before it even starts.

The other interesting observation as pointed out below is why TTSH have to issue a statement to pre-empt questions on firing a particular employee? Since when companies do that except for high level management changes

I would think it makes more sense to issue a statement after Roy make noise.越描越黑 basically like I said 画蛇添足 or someone trying to geh kiang to score points
