Is Stomp Starblog outdated by 2 months or what?
Apr 8, 2008 Gossips, Singapore
I think many still remember that end of January, in one of the Taiwan variety show Kang Xi Lai Le (康熙来了), a few Taiwanese TV personalities were discussing and, poking fun at Singaporeans English. If I remember correctly, that was 28th January episode.
Then after that, it angered many Singaporeans as usual and many came out to defend. Most Taiwanese spoke much worse English, I have to agree on this. Later on 8th Feb, one of the TV personalities involved offered his apology on Internet. And I thought the case closed. It was exactly 2 months back from today.
Today, the Stomp Starblog came out with one topic, “Taiwanese TV personalities have criticised Singaporeans for speaking poor English. Write a letter to them in response to their comments”, for the “Star Bloggers” there to write about. I am amazed, by how outdated the team of Stomp Starblog can be. That was 2 months back and you hardly hear anyone talk about it now. I think most had already forgotten this case. Now only they “write a letter in response to their comments”? Come one, are they in the media/press industry? Isn’t the “Maia Lee pregnant but not together with baby’s father Zidov Dominik” news much fresher? Isn’t the “Run-away-not-caught-yet-and-should-still-be-in-Singapore Mas Selamat Kastari” news much fresher?
Come one, Stomp, this is not the way to “cook”, to “heat up” old news. You can do better.
