..................A Professional Journalist....................
I feel I must post this...to let others know that among our midst, there are still one or two brave soul...
May we salute to the Wanbao photographer Mr.Wu Qing Shun for his professionalism in trying to capture the controversial flood issue.More remarkable is his courage as he would surely be aware of the consequences of incurring the wrath of his “master”.
It is rare for a journalist to go to great lengths to highlight a matter of public concern;especially in Singapore.If only we had more of such uprighteous people in the media, the public can then rely on a balance and check ombudsman entity that imposes scrutiny on an otherwise irresponsible authority or even government.
The police had in this instance showed lack of professional conduct (in handcuffing Mr.Wu).As an enforcer of the law,he should act upon when necessary and should refrain from acting “outside the law” (for whatever reasons).
Any attempt to cover-up a “life-threatening” flood is tantamount to removing a warning sign in a disaster that may claim many innocent lives.
So from this, we can see the danger of a controlled media. slanted and reporting only cover-ups and not the factual situation.
Hence, Yalkult becomes unpopular for coming up with these phrases on media control..
We want you to read the right things
we want you to hear the right things
#Note for Mr. Yalkult....Before u know it, in the wink of an eye, it will be 50 years.
