Logical Fallacy

DPM Wong Kan Seng believes that the residents in the Bishan-Toa Payoh area will still support PAP. He believes since the residents do not comment on his shortcomings, like the case of Mas Selamat, and also the incident where a father got past ICA with his son's passport to be stopped only in America where they rejected the passport(when he was Home Affairs Minister). The most major case was the Mas Selamat case, where he even managed to get pass the causeway and escape to Malaysia, this showed a major flaw in his governing of home affairs and security. This is a major logical fallacy, DPM Wong has commited the flaw of "Burden Of Proof" He states that since nobody raises the incident, it must be ok. To a greater extent, he even said that Mr Chiam See Tong only asked one question about the Mas Selamat incident. Mr Chiam replied: "The one question I asked, which is whether heads will roll over the issues with Mas Selamat, still has not been answered. Personally, I feel that the only head rolling will be that of the escaped terrorist: Mas Selamat.
