We here at TVD is getting quite confused by all the s*-storm happening the last few days. Is it becoz of 9.9.09 which in Guv Arnie’s movie means the End of Days or becoz its the anniversary of the Sep 11? 

Suddenly our “new media” is beingslammed left and right for being x-stream, evil, irresponsible blah blah blah …. its like a broken record coming from MSM and the MIW, every year they must slam new media at least once.  WTF me and my bros and sis here in TVD have been around for like 8 years plus liao … wat new media is this Lui toking about?  Along the way even ex NMP Thio also slam our brudders TOC for lying lah, irresponsible .. erm even swinish some more in some new media event in Kum Yan church.

Amidst all this sliming of new media, we see a new news portal Singanews setting up stall soon it seems; they made the announcement at the same Kum Yan thingy.  The line-up looks vellie powderful , got this Balji fella, (Note: he very famous in Sammyboy last time coz some journo say he kenna ousted for being too rebel (read never support the miw); so when he left the newsroom on his final day, it was macam like Dead Poets Society when all the boys stand on the chair to hail Carpe Diem to Robin Williams like dat).  Also some Teo Hwee Nak, a former editor with TODAY, think she was quite pro Opp type … but strangely the main man Matthew Yap is just ex ST sports page journo. Anyway,  the line-up looks good, macam like EPL Manchester City rite?

But why oh why do I smell some holy fishiness here?

 Erm first, as quite rightly pointed out by one commenter, why did Yap soft launch what he stress is a SECULAR news portal in a church of all places; when is Yap gonna go Kuan Im temple at SiBayLor and MUIS mosque to soft launch?  This is quite downright an oxymoron.

Second, why is he not malu to share the stage with a thioliban? This Thioliban just whacked the new media, whack TOC and our sweet Matthew still very proud to be with her wor.  She is chiobu issit?  Btw we found out Matthew is also some church elder so mebbe its some crush thing within the community.  I am sure Singanews will be damn popular if they hire Auntie  Thioliban as an aunt agony.  Sure alot of gays will go back straight, sure she will intercede with God so Singapore got no tsunami as well, she may even have the first ever column written in tongues. 

 Third, why must Matthew keep stressing secular and highlight WE GOT HINDUS, WE LOOKING FOR MUSLIMS TOO! Frankly, the more he stress their religion the more it seems like fellas like Balji is there as tokenism lor. Which if I am Balji, I will feel abit insulted to be paraded like some token Hindu in a church forum to a chorus of halleluais and amens when he name is read. WTF.  Its like the GRC system like dat, actually the real agenda is so MIW can sneak their inepts into government but the official reason is to have racial/religious parity blah x10.

Fourth, the organisers of this 999 event ATRIA is also some parachurch thing.  Their mission is macam like the church version of the infamous PAP cyber ninjas. Too bored to read their website mission out, just google atria sg or something.

Anyway dats why the TVD crew here is getting somewhat confused liao.   What is Singanews? The Singapore version of the “Christian Science Monitor” or is it really secular coz it got Hindus and hopefully that elusive Muslim.  Also, why is it so far, this Singanews thing is only referenced in Christian circles and community if it aims to be a secular news portal to scoop stories for all Singaporeans. 

So far Singanews is failing all the “spot the fundy” questions which is quite sad coz the line-up is quite impressive.

Wanna bet if Singanews is “pro-family”?  

Amenz out
