Irresponsible, reckless, impulsive, unethical are all words that describe Chee’s behaviour. Interestingly, they are also all words associated with what American psychologists call antisocial personality disorder, which manifests itself in a disregard for truth and for social norms.

Isn’t she smart? I love her sweet, free-spirited style which is unmatched by anyone else. Going by her logic, we all can assume that some of the world famous personalities are also afflicted with the anti-social personality disorder. All of them exhibit one similar symptom of the mental disease- unlawful behavior.
Perhaps the unknown rebel facing the tanks is from a different category. What medical term would you define his act? Sheer madness? Psychopathic? Courageous? Wait- that fellow does look somewhat like Dr. Chee, doesn’t it?
Have a look.

Great reminder for all of us, Aidil. If these heros and heroine suffer from anti-social personality disorder, then, Singapore needs more of these people.
Best Regards.

If that is the case, Sylvester, these people would be harshly labelled as psychopaths amongst the mentally infirmed. The local papers have the knack for such ruthless character assassination as clearly demonstrated by our esteemed journalist Chua Lee Hong.
