Singapore residents appear to have had enough of STOMP, a “citizen journalism” website run by Singapore’s largest newspaper The Straits Times. A petition calling for its shutdown has recently been started and has since seen widespread support. As of Monday morning, April 7, it had 8,013 supporters. The numbers have quadrupled since Sunday evening, and the petition is gaining momentum on social media channels and news outlets. This discontent has been simmering over time – many netizens have voiced their outrage over the numerous gaffes and insensitive articles made by the site over the past years. The petition was started by Robin Li, who is attempting to unify opposing voices against STOMP. The petition singles out two recent incidents to highlight their case against STOMP. The first case was with regards to their report of an NSman – an army conscript in local parlance – not giving up his seat to an elderly woman, which was revealed to be fabricated by a reader.

STOMP's logo and site layout is hideous.

The best way to let something die is to hurt its pockets. Stop visiting STOMP and stop contributing to STOMP.

If you want to upload some juicy video clip, upload it to another source e.g. Liveleak.

And once ad revenue dies out, they'll pull the plug on their Toa Payoh servers.

Oh, and who could forget that Eurasian broad who was a STOMP 'content provider' who fibbed about a MRT train door staying open while the train was moving?
