"There was nothing intentionally malicious about her post. I may not agree with her view but when you endorse a blogger, you have to accept that he or she is sometimes going to say controversial things." (Turodrique Fuad)
"On the latest furore, she has supporters from an unlikely source. The Society for the Physically Disabled as well as the Handicaps Welfare Association see nothing wrong with sharing the loos as long as the able-bodied give priority to the disabled."
Again, the local media has decided to paint Xiaxue in a favorable light. Again, I am not the least bit surprised (because Wendy Cheng writes for Maxim which is a publication under SPH). The reporter Jeremy chose to interview Turodrique, Monica and Wendy Cheng (and provided a link to her blog) but only highlighted a small quote from Peter Tan's blog without even a link so that readers who are not familiar with the situation would only be able to get it from xiaxue's entry on the issue and her edited and highly filtered comments (which I am sure Jeremy knows is in no way a true representation of the reality of the situation).
Jeremy has also left out the views from other bloggers such as shaolintiger, marcus, sandrapowderpuff and kimberlycun. If you really want to know how we feel about the situation why don't you interview US?
On a forum not far away, readers expressed other views on the biased article.
Prior to the article, I left a comment on Merv's site.
And Kenny Sia decided to pay me a visit.
I will let you guys carry on an open-minded, civilized and polite discussion with him (Please try and use logical valid arguments and restrain from vulgarities).-----------------------------

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 202 of 202Oh, i mentioned in my email to the Straits Times that the picture featured together with the article was done in very bad taste. I mentioned that in the phone conversation with Jeremy Au Yong ... he mumbled "i think that's her character". seems like they know each other eh? Oh well ... so now we know. :)
Hi pinky
