"Let's move on."

This seems like the most famous tag line of this year's General Elections.

All because of the Gomez saga.

The episode FINALLY came to an end yesterday (hopefully it really does!) when James Gomez was let off with a stern warning by the police. He would not be charged in court although the Public Prosecutor was satisfied that he had committed the offence of using threatening words towards a public servant.

When I went to Mr Gomez's press conference held at a food court in Holland Village yesterday evening, he stressed that he wants to "move on". Not once, not twice, but at least three or more times.

And this is not the first time we are hearing it.

When the Gomez saga first blew up, SM Goh Chok Tong told reporters on 30th April, "let's move on". (But when Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng spoke to him later and explained why he was still pursuing the matter, Mr Goh felt a need to probe further. He suggested that the Worker's party should hold a press conference to clarify the matter.)

On 1st May, Worker's Party Low Thia Kiang said that he was not going to comment further. He said, "I'm making it clear here, so let's move on."

On the same day, Sylvia Lim said that Jame Gomez has already made his apology at a previous rally and "we should move on from here".

Two days later (4th May), when there was two days left to polling day, Foreign Minister George Yeo said he no longer wants to talk about the James Gomez issue, and he wants to move on.

What amazes and amuses me is that while everyone, (okie, perhaps not all, but most I believe) including ordinary folks like you and me, seems to want to move on, we kept being dragged back to the same old Gomez issue.

There is enough talk of it, it is high time it gets put into action.

But something that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said before police confirmed they had detained Gomez a few days ago kept coming back.

MM Lee said, "Can you commit a dishonourable -- maybe even one which is against the law -- an illegal act and say, let's move on because I've apologised? You may move on but you're going to move on out of politics in time."

Mr Gomez declared yesterday that he will still be involved in WP and the political scene in Singapore.

As to what will really happen from now on remains to be seen.

But first, let's move on.
