One the other side, we have Son of Punggol, instead of apologizing for the dorm saga, carefully used the words "Admit govt shortcomings" to avoid making an apology. So next time you make a blunder in office, tell your boss "I admit my shortcomings", and see how he/she will react.
But the best demo given is from Ah Shan, which somehow I didn't see this reported in Today Online.. When I read thru the article, Ah Shan did not even admit any shortcomings (as minister of MOHA) when IO forged statements from relevant witnesses.
