The AFP has reported on the flash mob organised to support Mr Brown.
Unfortunately for the news wire agency, the real news wasn't that 30 people in Singapore bothered to take part in a flash mob for a proscribed blogger-columnist. I could think of several more newsworthy stories on the top of my head, such as:
How did a secret SMS-only invite leak out to the press, which turned up in battle positions and recording equipment shoved up the noses of participants, even before the flash mob was scheduled to begin?
Or how's this for a more newsworthy story:
Plainclothes police accost flash mob participants at end of event
when you have 30 people in this, someone is bound to babble to someone else, who babbles to the press; in fact, are you sure the organizers intended not to have press coverage? if so, they should have stayed for less than 30 minutes, before the paparazzy got there
ReplyDeletei feared for mr brown , PAP's big guns is now aiming at him.... ISA is looking in his so-called terrorist's act...
ReplyDeletei notice that the papers are naming the article as "singaporeans are fed up with progress!". The correct title is "singaporeans are fed, up with progress!" notice the sly use of punctuation to accent a point.
ReplyDeletethis is antipathy again without a com.
dont be silly; just another catherine lim; she gets hauled out now and then to say something when an alternative voice is needed; singapore inc only gets uptight about organized opposition; a lone voice is inconsequential
ReplyDelete"How did a secret SMS-only invite"
ReplyDeleteErr....the invite wasn't secret. I swear I saw the details and the plan on some blog the day before the event. At the time when I read it I was thinking what a pity I couldn't be part of them.
