Let me be very clear, I’m not saying anything derogatory about Ng. But I’m saying that our papers, based on the evidence of the votes cast, did not get their facts “right” about Ng being a favourite alongside Bach. Were they beating the DRUMS rather than reporting the “right” facts?

This leads me to a most serious issue.

Well, if we can’t even rely on the media to get the facts “right” on a simple sports story involving a S’porean, how can we trust the media when it reports on news that touches on the govt: remember the local media prides itself on being “constructive” and “nation-building”, and I have yet to hear of a senior editor being less than 150% pro-govt. Example, the media only waited for the govt’s response to Dinesh family’s legal suit before reporting the case. TOC and Bertha Henson (aforesaid keyboard general) had, to their credit, already reported the details of the family’s suit days earlier.

this is nothing but propaganda shit you are reading and been happening for past 50 years. he is not even a dark horse. compared to the rest his credentials is pathetic and the worst of lot . even worse if you consider how he bungled up the youth olympics and overspent. says so much about his management skills. there is even an article on yesterday newspaper implying some bias in the sleection, written by some dog and implying he should win. come on , his sports and management credentials are way crap compared Bach or bubka. his audacity to even stand for election is a laughing joke. the MSM paints it as if he is going to win like pungggol erection case. makes any reader sick with such crap blatant propaganda shit. that's why sports in singapore would never be world class becasue they are all dreaming.
