IMF/WB summit ends; so, did they like it?

e pur si muove said:

So the IMF/WB conference has finally come to an end, and with it the associated panoply of hard work surrounding the need to get things running like clockwork. The million dollar question is: despite the PR fiasco, did the delegates at least enjoy themselves here?

Recommended by tinkertailor: "Interesting comments from some delegates."

Did CNA act unprofessionally?

Another site that was also shown was Singapore Election Watch, but as you can see from that hyperlinked posting, the owner of that site pointed out that his pages had been edited before being shown on TV.

Analysing the Forum

»

lzydata said:

I will see for this week how many Forum letters have pitifully little forum-ic characteristics: the exchange of ideas or perspectives. I have tried to work consistently and rigorously in coming up with a typology and categorising letters...

Complaints - originals, replies, responses - make up 48% of all the letters (39% of the off- and online letters, 56% of the online-only letters). Queries - originals and replies - make up a further 20% of the total (26% and 15% respectively).

Recommended by popagandhi: "lzydata analyses letters to the ST forum and classifies them: complaint, reply to complaint, response to complaint, query, reply to query, bulletin, contribution, making a table of each type from Monday to Wednesday (and will continue to do so for the rest of the week). It's spot on!"

"Ass Tee" crackdown!

Singapore Critic said ...

I was just informed by a close friend of mine who works at an IT training firm as a IT/web kinda personnel, that their company has been sued by a Major English local newspaper with a name that sounds vaguely like "Ass Tee".

NKF vs SPH

With the news that NKF's CEO is making 600k a year and 12 months bonus, Singapore bloggers rise up immediately to this call-for-action.

Please trackback your thoughts on this entry.

[shianux: While there are some good comments, I've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of comments have nothing constructive to say, and are only interested in making ugly personal attacks.]
[shianux: Yup yup, keep it going, once again Singaporeans have proven themselves mindless sheep, piling on to whoever is a convenient scapegoat.]
