CONFIRMED: Shin Min Daily is now the “Jamban” Times
Even when other SPH papers are distancing themselves from Lee Bee Wah, Shin Min Daily has chosen to stick by the woman who had incurred the wrath of the entire nation to the extent of distorting facts and spinning tales to save her skin.
Shin Min is the only paper which published and gave prominent coverage to Lee Bee Wah’s speech in Parliament. It even devoted a space for her on the front page (29 May 2009:
The article which took up almost half of page 6, tried to protray Lee Bee Wah as a kind, compassionate and understanding MP fighting for the rights of elderly workers:
Save your efforts, Shin Min. It is too late for Lee to redeem herself. Had she been gracious enough to meet Liu Guodong and retract her statements made about him, Singaporeans may still consider giving her another chance.
Now that she had retreated behind STTA to continue her slugfest against Liu, she has lost the respect of Singaporeans!
Obviously either the top editors of Shin Min or its journalists have connections with Lee Bee Wah and STTA.
Are they grassroots volunteers in Lee Bee Wah’s Nee Soon South constituency too?
Why are they going out of the way to defend Lee Bee Wah while the other papers seem unwilling to give her any more coverage?
If there is anybody who knows where the missing link is, please email us at wayangparty@hotmail.com
Sign on the two online petitions if you haven’t done so:
1. Petition to DPM Teo Chee Hean to give special award to Liu Guodong
2. Petition to remove Lee Bee Wah as STTA President
Turn up at Hong Lim Park on 6 June 2009 between 5pm to 6.30pm to sign the petition calling for her removal as STTA President.
