Got very disturbed by this piece of news. Apparently The New Paper published the name of the first Singaporean girl who contracted the H1N1 virus, despite her request for anonimity. It’s quite a well-known fact that Singaporean newspapers are governed very strictly when reporting matters that infringe on racial matters, or anything that have the slightest possibility of affecting Singapore’s “peace and harmony”. The censorship is to the extent of paranoia sometimes. So why is it that the newspapers are able to “safeguard” the well-being of the society as a whole, and yet not be able to do something as simple as respect the privacy of one girl? Kinda ironic. Some aspects of reporting are over-regulated while other (essential ones) are under-regulated. =(
Anyway, found this free service by some nice Singaporean dude that allows tweeting by handphone in Singapore! =))) Actually, I found it coz Ning tweeted with it, and there was a link back to it at the back. Haha. If anyone clicks on this banner I won’t have that link behind my tweets, but seriously, I don’t mind doing extra advertising for the service haha.
