Clearly there is something very wrong with the way The Temasek Review reports things.

It reported on a Swiss lawyer working in Singapore who lectured locals about job entitlement in Singapore. “You are not entitled to jobs in your own country,” said Ms Zimmerman. This sparked a swarm of negative reactions from locals netizens.

Down the thread, a man commented that FTs do a lot of jobs that the locals don’t want to do, and went on saying Singaporeans are weak and lazy, and should stop acting like babies.

While I personally find his comments outrageous but true to some extent, TR took his comments and posted a new article featuring him. It even went on to saying that the man, director of Quality of Fairmont hotel and Resorts, ended up in a “heated exchange” with some of the disgruntled locals. However, reading through the whole thread, there was no heated argument between him and the 2 other commenters who addressed him in the previous post. Furthermore, TR posted a link to the man’s personal Facebook page in the comments section, and gave an open invitation for users to “CSI” him. Not only that, TR also questioned Fairmont Hotel by asking the commenters if they will still patronize the hotel.

In my opinion, this is journalism at its worst. They definitely “set the agenda themselves” by providing “quick updates on Singapore’s soci-political affairs from an unique and interesting perspective” by stirring up extremely biased views. What’s worse is that Singaporeans and readers are being lured into whatever their agenda is.
