Admin’s Note

The recent resignation of the spokesperson after a short tenure highlights important issues regarding political credibility and ethics. It is especially crucial for public servants to have an accurate background in order to gain the trust of the public. Such cases serve as a warning to other officials as well, and we must maintain a critical eye on politicians. This situation presents a good opportunity for us to reconsider the kind of leadership we expect through the news.
