Know the truth, don't believe what you read in Singapore newspapers, especially the Straits Times. Double check what the newspapers quote and report.
I had dinner with a Principal of a primary school recently. She shared with me her experience with Straits Times reporter a few years ago. The reporter requested for an interview with her on a current issue at that time. Being a new Principal at that time, she was naïve. She accepted the reporter's request and granted her an interview.
But she was shocked that when her interview was reported in the Straits Times, she said she was widely "quoted" in the article but it was totally different from what she had told the report. She called up the reporter and asked for a correction to her report. But the reporter refused to make any amendment to her article. The Principal told me that now she refuses any request for interviews by reporters and also she now knows not to trust what she reads in the Straits Times.
The Principal ahs wised up.
Let us learn from the Principal's experience. Likewise we must learn not to trust what the Straits Times report. Do check for the truth
