Today, as I write this post, I risk being in the front page of the national newspaper. Did I just say 'risk'? Yeah, being on the front page isn't always a good thing for all you should know. In this case, you can be popular for all the wrong reasons.

Today, an A* scholar was 'caught' commenting on male undergrads in her blog. I mean, blogging is for expressing your inner feelings. It's an online diary. It's a medium that you vent your anger on, share your tears and joys and without knowing it, showing who you really are. For the record, all these reasons were overlooked in this context when this lady's blog's contents were exposed to the media. (You see how powerful the media can be now?) Is she labelled a sexist now? I mean if I complain that I don't like the service that the CPF Board staff gave when I was there, does that make me an anti-government? What's next? A racist for not saying a Chinese as dark as a Malay, brushing aside the fact that he's tanned? Even when I suspect backstabbing as the main culprit in this case, what attracted my already-dimmed eyes was the fact that Straits Times made a big hoo haa over the whole issue.

Ask any staff in SPH, who never commented about the opposite sex? If there's anyone who answered 'nobody', tell me. I'll come down and hack them to death for it is completely BULLSHIT. And why make a big fuss over a post that this lady wrote? Why bother her blog? Why not check forums too, some of which are really targeted for abusing the Government and some other sensitive issues? Are you lads in SPH really 'bo liao' or is it an insider paid extra bucks for a fresh story to be reported in the papers? For whatever the reasons are, I don't wish to have any feelings over the main purpose of the article other than to hate it. On top of that, I pity the lady. You people who reported the issue? Just take a trip down to Hell. I don't wish to have any connection whatsoever with you people.

So as I said just now, even if I'm posting this, commenting innocently on an issue and fulfilling the main purpose of blogging, I risk having my face being printed in the front page of the natioonal papers and my story published as the 'top story'. Well, well, well... so much for a non-democratic country. I'm being denied the freedom of speech. Sigh, Singapore... how I wish I can really feel proud of my very own country truthfully.
