SDP's messenger pigeons attacking zaobao
The Straits Times Forum editor Yap Koon Hong has told opposition politician Chee Soon Juan that he would be denied space in the Forum pages until he withdrew his “serious and unfounded aspersions” on the integrity of the newspaper. He was responding to previous reports on the SDP website which implied that The Straits Times had unfairly edited certain portions of Chee’s letters before publishing them.
Chee, the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) secretary general, had written to the newspaper on two separate occasions. On 17 March, the newspaper published Chee’s response to Lianhe Zaobao journalist Yew Tun Lian’s claims that he had been evasive to questions about foreign funding in an interview. On 15 April, Chee responded to a forum letter that had condemned his confrontational style of politics. On both occasions, shortened versions of his letters were published both in print and on the online forums. The original version of the letters have been posted on the SDP website.
In an email reply to Yap dated 5 May, Chee took issue with the fact that the title of his second letter had been changed to “PAP just as confrontational, replies Chee”, which implied that he was indeed confrontational. In fact, newspapers rarely use the headlines suggested by writers and most readers know that headlines, together with picture selection and captions, are the work of sub-editors and not writers.
The SDP website shows that almost half of Chee’s letter was deleted before publication. The original text was 635 words long. Forum page letters are generally less than 400 words long. The published version of Chee’s letter was 348 words long.
Chee also questioned Yap’s claims that The Straits Times‘ integrity had been damaged by the SDP’s articles, citing how the Singapore media was already ranked lowly in international press freedom rankings.
The SDP website reported that Yap wanted Chee to retract his statements about the integrity of The Straits Times, and that the newspaper would withhold publishing his letters in the forum pages until he did so.

SDP CLAN has created their own teetu website to continue sliming peesailand, creating prejudices and trying to instigate resentment and distrust of peasants against the LEEgime, ruler of peesailand.
zaobao being peesailand's reputable newspaper media isn't spared. master chee has deviously trained a flock of spamming pigeons to attack zaobao for refusing to print master chee's articles.
it's very strange that chee having his own teetu web isn't satisfied about the damage that he can create to the officials from the LEEgime. anyone or organisation that they deem pro-LEEgime shall not be spared from sdp's shadowy attacks.
one of the big grocerer, SHENG AH SIONG is also now a regular sliming target for the SDP CLAN. SDP CLAN is now facing winding up pretty soon. these bunch of troublemaker jokers got the nerve to teach SHENG AH SIONG who is a very successful well-loved heartlander grocerer to run his biz. ain't those really a bunch of clowns!!
back to master chee's spamming pigeons. one would wonder whether he inflicts his carrier pigeons wih the deadly bird flu H1N1 virus. it seems that most of the sdp disciples are inflicted by a new virus strain - a cross between the mad cow, the crazy pig and the avian virus. the result: SDP CLAN should be quarantined cos they got the latest of the worst deadliest multiplex new strain virus. it's called MAD NINJA TURTLE zombiedii imbecilius.
now you understand why they are such good public entertaining clowns. well, thanks to this new multiplex viral strain which only affects sdp disciples.
don't worry, every peesailanders is safe. MAD NINJA TURTLE zombiedii imbecilius is selective and only sdp disciples are proned to it. by the way, the only cure for them is to spend a brief check-in into peesailand's changi holiday resorts for full (or usually partial) detoxification. but no one can guarantee a full recovery and recurring infection from all those infected spamming (virus) carrier pigeons master chee is breeding enthusiastically.
