Much as i love Singapore, I agree with what Gupte, an accomplished journalist who quit his journalist job at the straits time recently has written about his working experiences. For those who r interested in reading the whole article, pls obtain from me the link.

Gupte's article exposes the inadequacies & bureacracies of the region's "BEST" newspaper + the arrogance of Singaporeans The basic tenet of good journalism is journalism ethics which I am sad to say that our newspaper lacks. My friends and I had own fair share of bad experience when interviewed by a certain journalist about our science project back in Sec3/4, in which our words were quoted out of context. In fact there was one sentence that we did not recall saying. Similar experiences were echoed by another friend of mine, who was interviewed when the inner workings of a certain church in sg was explored. Her words were badly maimed that there was not a tinge of truth in what was published in the newspaper. Not that it makes a big difference / outcome to me and my friends, but it reflects how much we must catch up in order to match up with the journalistic standards set by other counterparts in the world.
