Class cancelled... again...

Class was cancelled again today. And it's not because of rain.

A certain "Deputy Manager" from the CC called Chief (last minute) to request that class be cancelled as they are in "dialogue" with the complainant (same one, who else) to try and resolve the "complains".

I find it strange that we are asked to cancel class. I thought all along we are a "legit PA outfit" - having permission from the Tampines MP to use the grounds. So why the request to cancel class? Shouldn't life go on to show that the CC is supporting us and that we have the right to be there?

Apparently not. Some thoughts come to mind :

1. - the typical "kia su & kia si" attitudes of civil servants - in the event of problems, just cancel everything and lay low and wait for the problems to die a natural death with no guts to stand up to what is right; which is what's happening since day 1 the complains surfaced
   
2. - we are really not as "legit" as we thought - I wonder what happened to the process and documentation between the day we saw the MP till today; was it just a verbal agreement on the MP's part and thereafter, nothing else was done? - most probably
   
3. - the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing - this is most present in how one government agency pushes the buck to the other, all saying "it's not my problem" - very typical of most government agencies

I really wonder how the CC is going to handle the "dialogue" with the complainant this week. Kowtow to him? Most likely, given the civil servant mentality.

So where does that leave us?

Anyone know of any place we can train complaints free?
