- When your posts tackle more serious issues than Xiaxue.
- When Channelnewsasia journalists do not even bother to write a balanced article about you when writing about your legal problems with A*. What about your side of the story? No one at Channelnewsasia cares.
- When Channelnewsasia journalists don't even bother to find out write your school and course of study. You suddenly downgrade to a 'Masters student' in the news when you are acutally a Phd Student.
- When you are an ex-scholar commenting about your ex-scholarship organization.
- But not when you are a scholar and write racist views in your 'private' weblog. You just get a warning from PSC.
- When you recieve a total of 11 angry emails over 3 days from the chairman of the government organization telling you to remove all posts in your Blog.
- When you are in US and during your busy exam period, and you have till May 8 to respond or fly all the way to Singapore to have tea to "clear the air". where's the "Star Trek Teleporter" when you need one?
- When New Paper devotes 3 Full pages on the head of the organization that sued you, calling him 'white knight/black knight' with nary a mention on your side of the story or even the case at all . The Public Relations people are working doubly hard, i can see.
- When you heeded the call by Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan and MM Lee to give honest opinions to public policy/government. And then you get sued. Maybe its a better/safer idea to write about topics like getting your cab snatched or important stuff like that.
- When writing a blog gets you sued while other people's blog get them T-shirt endorsements deals and get them featured on Mainstream Media.
- When Singapore's biggest bloggers would rather talk about the fact that tomorrow.sg posted your story 2 weeks earlier compared to CNA , rather than actually commenting on your legal problems. Woohoo. We are teh coolness, we are faster than mainstream media!
