Straits Times reporters are scum. Instead of reporting Singapore own flood issues, they report and shame Johore flood on the first page

According to the govt, there are no floods in SG - only "ponding".

 

[WangChuk]

no boats around on the roads yet ... where got flooding to report?

 

[nabeifuckpap]

That's why I don't bother reading Shitgapore news as nothing good comes out of it, all the headlines are bad news and nothing good

Do you want really want to see Duck Tours in your HDB estate?

Very proactive & considerate of ST to inform their Sinkie readers of the chance of flooding in JB in case they planning to go shopping, massage, makan and pump petrol there…

If flooding doesn't deter Sinkies from going to eat, pump petrol and shop in JB, the SG govt will introduce the "full stomach rule" to supplement the "3/4 tank rule".

Shitty Times has always been the PAP propaganda mouthpiece, but the propaganda it serves has noticeably shifted towards North Korean or China's Xinhua style after the SPH Media business was declared a not-for-profit entity.

The transfer follows SPHL's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 10 September 2021 where shareholders voted to spin off its media business. SPH Media Trust, a company limited by guarantee, will from today operate SPH Media under a not-for-profit structure.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan, Chairman of SPH Media Trust, said: "We are pleased to have completed the transfer of SPH Media to SPH Media Trust today. This marks a critical milestone as we re-focus on our mission of producing quality journalism as a public good. This will also ensure the continued relevance and sustainability of SPH Media."

Best is don't read. Or read once in a while, with discernment and not take it too seriously.

In his memoir OB Markers: My Straits Times Story, former editor-in-chief Cheong Yip Seng, alleged how the newspaper has a govt-appointed "monitor" at the newspaper, "someone who could watch to see if indeed the newsroom was beyond control", and that disapproval of the "monitor" could cost a reporter or editor from being internally promoted. Cheong identified the first monitor as S. R. Nathan, Director of the Mindef's Security and Intelligence Division and later president of S'pore. Editors were bound by "out of bounds markers" to denote what topics are permissible for public discussion, such as anything that may produce ill-will and hostility between different races and religious groups.

Indeed..

They're not reporters.
They're prostitutes.
They sell their honour, dignity and self respect.

Please do not insult prostitutes

They are not working for sinkies. Why even bother to read?

They're not reporters. They're prostitutes. They sell their honour, dignity and self respect.

ST journalists are no different from most of us, who are also afraid of losing our livelihood. Be more understanding.

The ST is usually referred to as "the mouthpiece" of the ruling party, or at least "mostly pro-govt", as well as "close to the govt". Chua Chin Hon, then ST's bureau chief for the United States, was quoted as saying that SPH's "editors have all been groomed as pro-govt supporters and are careful to ensure that reporting of local events adheres closely to the official line" in a 2009 US diplomatic cable leaked by WikiLeaks.

Even so, should not resort to sophistry. Now many readers believing them will lose livelihood or lives not knowing what's really going on. Any difference from scammers in scamming centre in KK Park except those at KKK park can't walk away freely?

The fact that they had none of the attributes I described, show how low the public views them.
Like a father would say to the prostitute daughter:
Is there no other job you can do?

They have to perform to earn tax payer money of $180m/year for 5 years, total of $900m tax payer money to be granted to them. Otherwise, Shit Times would be in trouble without tax payer money to bail.them out.
