"However the SAF is not a charity organisation and does not owe anyone a career."

Perhaps.  But no one is perfect, and some people are less perfect than others.  Such people may not deserve a third, or even second, chance if we measure them against the harsh standards of our meritocratic society which owes no one a living.  But they, as we all, are human, and humans make mistakes, some more than others.  And I sympathise with the person complained against in this case because I realise that I too am fallen, have made my mistakes, and am saved only by grace.

The day will probably come when Hongyi makes a bad mistake.  Mathematically, the probability of this increases with age.  It may be - I hope not not because I know him personally but as one who is fallen - that when this happens the traditional and new media as in this case will scrutinise his error (possibly magnify the scale of it) and amplify his pain.  Then, he will better understand, what it means to be unforgiven.
