It’s citizen paparazzo they are creating.

NON-CONSTRUCTIVE CRAP.

it is used to distract the citizens from looking into news that really matters! now tell us how much did we lose from the investments man!

Personally, I visit STOMP just to go there to point, and try my best to laugh at the “content” there before the massive facepalm sets in and drives me to somewhere else. Yes, there’s the rare gem (such as someone’s report of a sighting of a rather rare Peregrine Falcon in Sengkang), but these gems are always buried under tons after tons of raw sewage that is the “news” on STOMP.

A Singaporean I met over the IRC network once lamented at how STOMP is taking the privacy of Singaporeans away, and I must fully agree; nowadays, I don’t feel comfortable even in my own home, let alone when I’m outdoors, for I fear every single thing I do, be it playing music in my own home, (apparently) refusing to give up seats or taking the pirority seats on trains (which I avoid primarily because I know they are pirority seats, but also because this has become a favourite subject of many STOMPers). I’m lucky not to have tasted the power of STOMP yet; some of the things that I have done in public were almost more than sure to earn me a place on that site.

It’s extremely, extremely, extremely outrageous that a pair of students lost so much thanks to the simple actions of one barbaric Singaporean, who jumped to simplistic conclusions without even bothering to poke the surface of the situation, and a harmful web site that passes yellow journalism as real journalism, and that a junior colleage – supposedly THE kind of place for, among other things, integrity and intelligence, and the inparting of such on our future generation – could fall for such yellow journalism and respond with such simplistic, iron-fist tactics. I think this speaks a lot about the overall infantilsm, immaturity, moronism, childishness, idiocy, gracelessness, and stupidity of our society.

It does appear that Singapore is fast becoming like a twisted version of the society in George Orwell’s novel, “1984″ – instead of a all-knowing “Big Brother” government, however, it’s the people themselves, with the help of a web site, that is doing the dirty work.

The kind of content on STOMP is meant to be shared privately with family and friends, and not with the public; and even in the former case it’s not really morally right to gossip about complete strangers, even if it’s without our knowledge; it’s simply an excercise in degrading our morals.

In Japan, you’re not even suppose to sit on the seat even if the train is available as long as you’re neither handicap nor pregnant. Singapore should practice this basic social responsibility.

I don’t know who’s right or wrong but one thing for sure. On thing for sure though, this woman should not be sitting there when it is meant for people with needs.

An example would be this:
Fake accusation: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=53863

Rebuttal from innocent party: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=54703

btw regarding the issue of photos taken of MRT passengers ‘not giving up their seats’, the angle of the photos suggest that those pple taking the pictures were all standing-up without a seat.

I am willing to bet most of those Stomp reported cases of “ungracious commuters” are just a form of revenge from those who couldn’t get a seat.

Afterall I’m 100% certain that those who are already sitting down wouldn’t bother to take such photos anyway!

As I am strongly against these ‘big bully and cowardly act’,I had participate so actively that in the end ,without a warning or yellow card,they gave a red card suddenly and I was barred from participating.I believe it could be that they find my comments would only discourage their contributers from becoming their free reporters

I still remember when we ate “fish and chips”. It was so popular at one time.
Then somehow or the other we got spurned, it seemed. So back to eating rice. But this commodity was even manipulated !

Then now we try to eat “steaks”. But in this context, many senior citizens lost their hard-earned savings. Very sad, no collaterals provided yet products being sold !

It seems that up to this day, we still have not projected some of our own identities. The Koreans still maintain their culture and speak their own languages, eat kimchi, and have their Korean names. So do the Japanese.

But what about us ? Now in the US, the new President is Obama.
Will some locals quick to adopt similar names ? Easier to pronounce ?

Now newspapers reported that Michael Jackson is regretting his “whitening” skin treatment.

So any other couples ready to imitate the recent nude couple at Holland V ?

Presume we are constantly bombarded by rhetorics and propagandas, even about free markets and enterprises ! What is the West implying now ?

Sometime ago, our local newspapers also reported a Professor mentioning about stupidity and superiority.

Such news have no credibility & STOMP has pretty low integrity to publish this. Even if it’s genuine, people has rights to do what they want & information about a horny teenage couple in a news column is silly. Imagine a post about horny teens in German or US papers. Gimme a break.

I remembered the big hoo-ha (somehow, this word means “vagina” in urban dictionary) in the past about Fann Wong wearing very short shorts at a prize ceremony or something. The media totally blew this piece of “news” outta proportion. I mean, c’mon!

Does that mean the truck driver is drinking beer? Or is the truck driver merely using the can as an ashtray.

STOMP is just a place waiting for a lawsuit to happen.

erm , you know who owns stooomp or not?

A proper system should include some sensible vetting/censoring process. Bu, t of course, we know too well that anything potentially anti-ruling party would have been removed!
