"Q: But [was the leadership takeover] orchestrated, planned beforehand? Was [Thio Su Mien] the organiser?
Aware president Josie Lau: I will place on record, no.
Dr Thio: No, no, it depends on what you mean by organiser. Actually it's kind of flattering, in a way...
What I did was that I put down, collected info, I sent to different people. So it's up to you. You want to join? You go and join. If you want me to help you, I will help you.
So I'm quite happy with that because you see, you suddenly discover that networking helps, that if there's a view we want, we network through the e-mail. And I certainly have come out from the Jurassic Age because I'm quite proficient with e-mail and it is an efficient way of educating people."
No of course that's not not being the organiser; it's called being the instigator.
