Complete news blackout by mainstream media on DBS Hong Kong’s “kind” offer to compensate affected minibond holders

Posted by wayangparty on October 13, 2008

Dear readers,

If you haven’t noticed, there is a complete news blackout on DBS Hong Kong’s offer to fully compensate minibond holders which was reported by the South China Morning post and China Daily on 10 October 2008 this Friday.

Just to be very sure, we flipped through the Strait Times, Lianhe Zaobao, TODAY and Channel News Asia’s website thrice, watched the World and Asia News of CNA consecutively for two days and there is still no mention of what happened in Hong Kong.

Instead, the mainstream media carries reports from the Asia-Pacific region on:

- North Korea being removed from terror list by U.S: Who cares a damn ?

- Troubled Kashmir gets first train service: Huh ? Does anybody knows where is Kashmir ?

- Hong Kong finds melamine in two cadbury products: Finally Hong Kong is in the news, but this is not what we are interested in !

- Thousands rally in Bali over anti-porn bill: Only of interest to Ah Peks who keep mistresses in Batam lah. Wait…does the bill apply to Batam too ?

- China scientists break panda’s genetic code: Can you believe it ? An entire minute in the Channel 8 news at 6.30pm was devoted to this !!! Wow, are we being taught how pandas are having sex in order to boost our libido ? Well continue watching the video below if you are really so interested to know why pandas have black eyes…..zzz….zzz….
