TOC - Amateur Reportage of MSK recapture

[WayangPartyClub]

Since the shaming of Remy Choo and Andrew Low. TOC has deteriorated into the wilderness of bad journalism as evidenced by the standards of Terence Lee, Deputy Editor.

Perhaps Terence should learn a thing or two from Remy who has mastered his writing craft working closely with the leadership of MP Ho Geok Choo.


Here is a sampling Terence's uninsightful and mediocre critic. Betraying his naivety and ignorance. Alas, thanks to him and the new team, Wayangparty has soared above TOC in terms of visits to the site.

Perhaps that was the reason why the ISD saw no reason to inform the public as fast as they could. But surely such news should never be withheld, especially if it is about a man who could threaten the security and lives of Singaporeans with his very presence?

If this is true, then the Ministry of Home Affairs has not learned from the lessons of the past: the need for better communication and accountability with the public. It was the same scenario many months ago. The MHA was not forthcoming about information regarding the terrorist’s escape, and media practitioners and the public were left frustrated. But then, they had an excuse. Investigations were still ongoing, and the details had to be ascertained.

Now, there is no reason to withhold information. It does not take a lot of effort to say: Mas Selamat is captured, and is in the hands of the Malaysian authorities. It does not take a lot of time to verify if the captured prey really is the fugitive, even if he has gone through plastic surgery (should he chose to go to that extreme).
