Sans Borders.
Hello.
Just couldn't help but touch the keys on my keyboard once again. They demanded to be caressed. :)
I just looked through the cover of today's New Paper (31st October 2005). To quote a certain surfer, 'I was speechless'. A whole front page of soccer. Owen, Arsenal. I mean, thats pathetic. Almost half the sports pages are already filled with soccer. Yes, there are LOTS of soccer fanatics out there, but HELLO? This is the NEWS we're talking about. Is the media here to transmit news to the masses, or to give them what they want? Half the world has its eyes fixated on the India bombings but there on the front page is soccer? Sheesh! Sure, the newspapers are there for the heartlanders, and if you don't give them what they're interested in, your profit margin and ratings might drop. But soccer?! But what else can we do? Comprain, lor, the gahmen can solve everything what.
The most recent report on Worldwide Press Freedom Index 2005 has shown Singapore having an INCREASED ranking from 147 to 140. Pathetic. Heh! Even Malaysia is ranked 113. YES, that's our neighbour. Cambodia is at 90.
Sad eh?
Our press has MUCH to improve on.
Quote of the Day -
The more successful the woman, the less likely it is she will find a husband or bear a child. For men, the reverse is true."
Sylvia Ann Hewlett, an economist and the author of "Creating a Life: Professional Women and the Quest for Children," a book published in 2002, conducted a survey and found that 55 percent of 35-year-old career women were childless.
Hehe.
