The act of tempting or the state of being tempted

An MP for Marine Parade GRC, Mr. Lim Biow Chua had this to say about successful men

'Over the years, to me, Jack Neo is a good son, father and also a good husband. Since he is remorseful over this incident, he should be forgiven. Actually, a man who has good career development would find such scenarios unavoidable."


Temptation :the act of tempting or the state of being tempted.

By scenarios, I would infer that he is referring to sweet young thing throwing themselves on Jack or Mr. Lim's feet.

Yes it is possible that a man who has good career development would find such scenarios occurring.

The operative word is unavoidable. It is avoidable. Just because you are tempted, it does not mean that you have already committed the sin.

It is when you give in to the temptation that the act of sinning against your wife have been committed.

By saying that a man who has good career development would find such scenarios unavoidable, he has insulted all the good Man in White who has chosen not to give in to these scenarios.

I know and believe that my brother who is a road warrior is a good son, a good father and also a good husband. I am sure that hopping from one city to another week in and week out, I am sure he would find such scenarios unavoidable.

But he chose to exercise, jog, watch epl or facebook. Presented with such scenarios, he chose like a good man not to hurt his wife and children. Like all man, he would react to beautiful, young voluptuous woman.

However like all great man, he chose his response carefully.

Mr. Lim Biow Chua has insulted all good men who have chosen to remain faithful to their wives.
