STOMP
I feel that STOMP has already became more of just a website where Singaporeans share their views on, it has became a gossip site. STOMP not only reporting on what people feel, it is also bad mouthing a lot of people behind their backs. This not only shows about the bad "culture" of Singaporeans, it also reflects badly upon their morals.

I totally agree, STOMP has became a public tabloid site that reflects everything bad that happens in Singapore. Personally, as a student with the recent STOMP appearances our school has been involved in. When i am in view of the public, i have learned to respect my uniform and behave myself in order to not disgrace myself and thus my school.
ReplyDeleteHowever, that being said, STOMP has restricted our freedom, and thus stopped me from doing many things. And i feel that it is a bit extreme and is a bit fake. For example, at a concert that is open to public, in uniform, I often find myself not wanting to clap or cheer loudly in order to maintain our school's reputation of well-educated children. Cheering and clapping was meant to be a positive thing, but is now restricted due to unwanted gossip from the public.
I honestly feel that Singaporeans have to be less critical and look more at their own flaws. For example, I would think that the case of a NS men carrying a girl's handbag has got nothing wrong. If it was not sensationalised by the fact that he was a NS men, it would be fine. I am sure we have all seen husband's carrying his wife's handbag and it is their way of showing affection. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
