in the name of ‘press freedom’? lawl…
‘let bygones be bygones’? lawl…
stop sensationalising? lawl…
don’t rant behind a computer screen? lawl…
‘care’ and ‘concern’? lawl…
I’m gonna support Trefoil… lawl…
Singaporeans at their very best in complaining… lawl…

you can certainly confuse a 5-yr old with your misguided and lame arguments. but you’re making yourself look foolish by even attempting it. sometimes its better to cut your losses, than attempt to recover them.

thanks for the laugh, TNP spies. certainly made my day.

I’ve stopped buying TNP after they had an article about MRT seats. Thought there were much more important news & issues to be worried about then how slippery the MRT seats were.

Still thank you for having this entry it probably has opened many peoples’ minds.

Totally agreed with you. Way to go with the article.

TNP, a newspaper full of.. (:

However, I do not agree that all local newspaper are nonsense. For example, The Straits’ Times reports factual stuffs! (: My two cents.

Thanks for the heads up. I have given up TNP for years already due to the way they play with some news. But throwing the paper is a waste of resources. Recycle it!

Well said … highly irresponsible reporting by TNP. A rag, run by very immature individuals who see “news” in matters which have no public interest. Shame on you. Is it any wonder Singaporeans are deserting print for online?

what is impt is not the sensationalisation of anything, but of the results (perhaps due to DK's article here) I still buy TNP. And if you've read the article that appeared in yesterday's papers, you'd realise there have been no names and protection of the H1N1 patients' privacy. RESULT. ra’s last blog post..A Sense of Humor

klm: I think you mixed up between freedom and responsibility. How would you feel if you had H1N1 and your name is published all over the paper?

Or how would you feel if you are the 1st SARS patient in Singapore. Your parents and a few friends died after being infected by you. And your name is published all over the press and you are being labelled as super infector. AND few years later, while you are still recovering from the guilt of having cause their death, the media brings up your name again.

Honestly, if this is call freedom of press, then I think we can do without it. And I feel sorry for those who caught H1N1 in Australia and had their name splashed all over the news. But may I remind you that even if Australia is doing it doesn’t mean that it is the right thing to do.

And I don’t think I have, in any way, acted irresponsibly throughout this entire incident.
