What's up with the standard of newspapers in Singapore nowadays? I read some Irish and British papers my brother brought home, and they're like Frosties with milk, raisins and strawberries compared to our very own ST, which is like regular cornflakes with no milk even. When I opened it I got rich commentaries, witty articles on why the Queen of England should visit Northern Ireland and other subjects (no pun intended), and plenty of stating that this political strategy or that is flawed.
Now the last point is touchy, touchy, and I'm willing to let it go at that. But if the newspaper columnist doesn't point out what detriment something like the casino (oops, Integrated Resort) will have, then any scepticism we'll have will simply be ill-informed.
I am NOT saying this is a delibrate attempt by the Powers that be to keep all protest ill-informed... but come on, SPH, a little wit and opposing viewpoint never hurt anyone. Maybe that's how the Opposition can air their views! Have someone who can write, who can show courtesy, pen something agreeing (hey, we've to have some common ground somewhere, right???) or disagreeing with Gahmen policy.
That's the spotlight for you. Bad ideas or good, here's one way for all to hear them. C'mon ST, a little more gusto would be nice...
