See "Wee Shu Min, the Slammed RJC Girl" for background info.
You may or may not remember me from the Orientation Reporting Team earlier this year, where I interviewed you for the 'Orange' publication.
Nonetheless, the impression you left on me from that meeting was NOT one of the high-and-mighty, NOT one of the elite. You were down-to-earth, cheerful and effervescent.
You don't deserve all this slamming and negative publicity. Singaporeans are so stupid, so ugry, that they don't see the torment they've unleashed on a mere 18-year old. They don't realise that this mob behaviour is one that could potentially lead to the downfall of public opinion and free speech. Why particularly chastise and criticise one of the 'elite', leaving the cretinous freeloaders of the world unscathed?
I know the effects that negative (read: defamatory) publicity can have on one. Even though its not even in the same scale as yours, I don't think anybody deserves it (unless they didnt get their articles into the forum).
Censorship from the masses is still censorship. I hope that everyone who bullied and flamed you could just play the observer for a while, and see what 'ethics' they themselves are enforcing.
Stay strong, and I hope this does not affect your A levels!
I applaud you for speaking your mind. Your entry was a much better read than Derek's.
That's life. This is my opinion. Accept it.
