First day blogging and feeling quite lost but must progress with the times. Decided to do this in order to set the record straight and I can't trust the press to do it.
The Everitt Rd saga started in Sept 2002 with my neighbours ganging up and marching to see the MP for Joo Chiat. Their motives however were suspect because they called a reporter from the Straits Times to accompany them. The story was of course published a few days later.
They really did not think the MP could do anything hence the presence of the press. I'm absolutely sure that they were not looking for a solution but were setting their dastardly plan in action - when crying wolf make sure that your dramatic howls have an audience and involve as many bit actors as possible so that it's convincing!
What followed was a hilarious farce! The Chinese tabloids capitalised on the story which captured the imagination of Chinese readers and viewers island-wide. It had all the elements of a poorly written blockbuster to cater to the pea-sized intellect of a public who could not read between the lines and actually believe in fairy tales!
