singaporeans found another way to complain... STOMP...

after reading today's straits times... about how one person took a picture of a person falling asleep on the MRT train just as a pregnant lady boards the train car invaded the privacy of that person... lol... i was literally amused by the presence of the article.. and if you read the actual article itself, below the article is more pictures stomp-ed...

singaporeans have all along been recognised as a bunch of creatures who love to complain about everything under the sun, be it whether the "crime" committed by the other person is really rightfully wrong or it just seemed wrong in the eyes of the person who lodged the complaint... as the saying goes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter... i guess it applies to this case as well... how can he be even sure that the person falling asleep at that moment in time is not purely coincidental?

which is another reason why the SAF forbids camera phones in the camps i guess... can you imagine recruits taking pictures of their sergeants pointing the middle finger or simply shouting at the top of his voice? it actually tickles to predict what some people would accuse that poor chap - disruption of public peace and harmony... or even inappropriate display of conduct in public... ok, i don't know the terms used in the legislative arena of singapore, but ya, you get the drift...

i'm actually wondering when someone would take pictures of frequent complainers and turn them into complaints accusing them of "causing excessive damage to the public image of singaporeans" or "follower of the religion: 'i am always right'"... lol...

but well, we can't actually blame them... stomp provided the avenue for them to post their photographic complaints... and with great ease too... all you need to do is take a picture and MMS it over... actually, i strongly believe that if stomp did away with the MMS thing, and instead requests all photos to be physically sent over to Singapore Press Holdings, there would be much less of these nonsense... people would actually have time to review over the pictures they have taken and to really decide whether there is such a need to publicly defame the person featured in the photo... and here comes the notion of excessive convenience... lol...
