wayangparty clarifies on leak of Dr Allan Ooi's email

[Avantas]

On 12 March 2009, we published an extract of Dr Allan Ooi’s farewell email to his family and friends followed by the full version a day later. We have initially indicated that we will remove the letter after 48 hours of publication.

We received a lot of flak from netizens lampooning us for infringing on the privacy of Allan’s family by publishing a personal email without seeking their permission first.

The truth is: after we published the letter, we received an email from Allan’s sister Lynette giving us permission to continue putting up the letter to debunk the lies, half-truths and myths which were being circulated and perpetuated by the mainstream media.

We did not reveal this fact because we do not wish to complicate the Ooi family’s meeting with MINDEF.

Our first altercation with Shin Min Daily happened in this instance when we exposed their journalistic dishonesty by deliberately leaving out crucial segments of Allan’s letter expressing unhappiness about his work.

Shin Min Daily retaliated a day later claiming that the Ooi family was unhappy with us for leaking the email which is nothing further from the truth. We have been corresponding with Lynette over email all along.

[To Shin Min journalists who are reading this, sorry to make you look like fools because you are really a bunch of idiots who think nobody will ever know and expose your dirty underhanded tactics!]

Below is a documentation of the chain of events which transpired between 11 March and 14 March 2009.

We leave you to judge for yourselves the professionalism and integrity of Shin Min journalists.

to an average sinkie, nobody knows what or who is wayang party...

how did the sister came to know about it?

Anyone who has a decent command of mandarin will know Shin Min's reporters belong to the 2nd-3rd rate category. Their articles are punctuated with reusable phrases found through-out the pages, main points are repeated over and over to make up the word counts.

If every single news column are to be reduced to summarized points, the whole paper will only have a page 1 minus the ads.

Good to see an online blog beating the crap out of a crappy news paper with well researched work and choreographed moves.

Shin Min wont sue Wayangparty as they have no idea who to sue and since Wayangparty is not a "proper" news media, there is no crediblity or need to go find out who wayangparty is and in doing so would be a waste of time.

In contrast to what i have said above, The Online Citizen could be defined as a "proper" news media as people can find out who is responsible for what was reported.

Wayangparty cant sue Shin Min as by doing so, everyone would know who is behind wayangparty and that would open a floodgate of defamation and libel lawsuits that the person or persons behind wayangparty and their families might as well kill themselves as it would be endless considering how many enemies wayangparty had made from both PAP as well as opposition side, not to mention a few others of whom are not politicaly related.

So end of the day, many people will still read Shin Min and "believe" in what they say and very few will bother about wayangparty since they are not able to openly declare what they said is true.

True, but we only focus on the LBW saga, how the 2 sides fair after this is of no concern.

so technically, shin min can slime wayang party and wayangparty can slime shin min without considering the consequences.....

nice.....

maybe shin and and wayangparty are in cohorts and playing a BIG WYANG???

Na Bei ..thought they may be a war between the media 畏恐天下不乱

ANOTHER WAYANG LIKE THIS

Unless Lynette herself says that is true, it is another in a series of false claim. According to family sources, that letter was shown to a number of people outside the family and no member of family asked for it to be released.

I suppose, Avantas is going to invite me to send an email to Lynette like he did the Tan Kin Lian affair to confirm.
