"I was wrong. I was foolish."
Accompanied by his mother, International golf player Eldrick Tont Woods, better known as Tiger Woods, has finally held a press conference to apologise to his family and fans for a series of sex scandals.
In sexually open societies like Europe countries and the United States, it has long been known to the world that many celebrities are actually committing adultery. Quoting Jackie Chan's words, Woods has just "made a mistake that all men in the world would make" just like Chan and Clinton. How could it cause an uproar to the world?
We should not take such scandals too seriously. After all, sex scandals involving celebrities can be heard almost everyday and the mass coverage of the media is just to meet the people's peeping desire. They will be save as long as they make a public apology like Jackie Chan, Clinton and MCA Deputy President Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek. Just be more careful if they wish to do it again next time.
It reminded me of another combative and infamous "tiger" - Tomoyuki Yamashita.
Who is Tomoyuki Yamashita? Anyone with a little knowledge of history should know that he was a horrible general of the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II with the nickname "The Tiger of Malaya".
In 1941, the Japanese Imperial Army led by Tomoyuki Yamashita spent only three months to storm and capture the whole Peninsular. Later, he commanded his army in Johor Bahru to cross the Straits of Johor and seized Singapore on 15 Feb. It was Chinese New Year at that time.
Under the bloody rule of Tomoyuki Yamashita, the brutal Japanese army killed without mercy. Malaya and Singapore people suffered a tragic period for three years and eight months.
But the invaders had come to no good end. The Japanese finally lost and surrendered while Tomoyuki Yamashita became a war criminal and was sentence to death in Philippines.
Tomoyuki Yamashita held a sword with his hands full of blood while Tiger woods holds a golf club with 12 beautiful women in his arms. They are figures of two different eras and they should be mutually irrelevant. However, both of them carry the nickname of "tiger" and they are inseparable from their mothers during their most distressed time.
Woods's wife Elin Nordegren did not show up for the press conference. The only person that did not leave him was his mother, who forever supports and be proud of him.
As for Tomoyuki Yamashita, people will always remember that on his way to the execution ground, he left his last words: "A person's character has been fixed by infant education of his mother. So please promote education for women, to grow good mothers up. That's my only wish for my mother country."
The two "tigers", who are inseparable from their mothers, have taught us a lesson in the Year of the Tiger. (By LIM MUN FAH/Translated by SOONG PHUI JEE/Sin Chew Daily)
