Managing Editor – Fang Shihan

Editor-at-Large – Remy Choo Zheng Xi

Political Editor – Ng E-Jay

TOC Lite Editor - Gangasudhan

Head of Public Relations and Liaisons – Leong Sze Hian

Copy Editor – Wong Chun Han

Webmaster – Kamilul Ashraf

In a great coup de tat, TR has infiltrated TOC in an attempt to rid it of its best writers, Andrew Loh and Donaldson Tan. It is no surprise that TOC recent dramatic drop in article creation coincided with the arrival of their political editor - I dont dare wear a red t-shirt - Ng E-Jay (former contributor to wayangparty).

So pathetic they have become that they resort to reprinting articles from other blogs and even share writers with TR. Case in point:


Not to mention their constant website downtime due to mysterious DDOS attacks and a very generous offer from TR to help them manage their site. Is Kamilul Ashraf linked to TR? You betcha!

"Donaldson Tan"??? What sort of name is that???:confused:

"Donaldson" is a surname which means "son of Donald". It's not supposed to be used as a first name. :eek:

This Singaporean trend of Jackson, Donaldson and all the f-son is so tedious. But I am glad you point it out. keke
 
That's nice.

All the while I have suspected TR has the gahment as the "hidden hand", now I am even more convinced.

It took out Kent Ridge Review by playing out their main writer, now they took over TOC.

This is getting interesting.

Not forgetting also those football siao who named their sons using the last name of famous footballers.

At least one boy of a celebrity couple is named Beckham.

The more unique English names actually go well with Chinese surnames which are short and common. English surnames are the more weighty, that is why they are called 'John' or 'Chris' or 'Jane'.

If someone was called 'Donaldson Beckham', even Americans will laugh.
 
I'm sure the people behind TR would be laughing their heads off when TOC was under DDOS attack.
 
Many Singaporeans have no clue about English names but use them anyway.

Besides using -son surnames as first names, Singaporeans also use shortened nicks like Bob, Dick, Tony, Lisa, Susie as full first names whereas in Britain, US etc. native English-speaking countries Bob is short for Robert, Dick is short for Richard, Tony is short for Anthony, Lisa is short for Elizabeth, Susie is short for Suzanne or Susanna etc. etc. I used to have a neighbour who named his two sons Willie and Wilson without any clue that Willie is short for William and Wilson is a shortened version of Williamson meaning William's son.
 
Wait till you hear the English names that PRC kids have taken - Jesus, Rockson, Diego, Carter including taking gender specific names by the opposite gender. We are talking about top state schools in China. The rush to engage the western world is tremendous. We used to laugh at the Hong Kongers many years ago and we now have it in Singapore.

The authorities in the West have the right to reject any name for a birth certificate if it is unusual or brings the child into a position of ridicule, I wonder if it applies here and Asia.
 
Best of uniquely Singapore tradition, Ah Boy for a boy, Ah Girl for a girl. Can't argue against that.
