2.If I were the ST editor,i will at least edit like this:
at least the editor have to cover the eyes and sensitive parts. -
Reuters also at fault too.
-
lemme guess.. you see the photos on Reuters, and if ST doesn't print it, you say that ST is hiding things..
-
-
If this is deemed to be disrespectful to the dead, how about those people who had uploaded the 42 seconds video clip of the poor man who died on the tracks at Yishun MRT station last December?

if it happens in singapore, u wun even see a headline.
thailand some more!! -
The truth is cold, hard and 'disrespectful'.
Some people want the truth, but cannot stomach its contents.
That's why the 'truth points to itself'. -
singapore is on thailand's case right now. u scan the number of reports tt the sg media reports on thai's apparent missteps; unrests in the south, the PM's flip flops, economic spiral, etc. and it's very childish. every other even a person will not take things so personally n belabored it to such extent. this is outrageous and a waste of ink and paper. another reason why i dun buy the ST.....
[another bad taste....i dun know if you recall during the riots in indo a few years ago bet the christians and the muslims, they show indons carrying decapitated heads on the front page]
i am sure the thai embassy is monitoring this now, and BG yeo will still not be welcomed in thailand anytime soon.... -
SMRT has started probing who posted the CCTV footage of the 2 subway suicides in the public domain.Originally posted by dork3d:If this is deemed to be disrespectful to the dead, how about those people who had uploaded the 42 seconds video clip of the poor man who died on the tracks at Yishun MRT station last December?
Anyway, the TS is starting to look like a tech-savvy version of Dr Who.

3.The MRT clip torture the family too much and the poster
shall be canned . I can tell you some one in SMRT
will go to jail for it is a crimial offence to steal property
of SMRT.The clip belong to SMRT.
Can the poster charged under COMPUTER MISUSE ACT
(CHAPTER 50A)--http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/
4.Freedom of expression is not unlimited.
This is too harsh to the dead's family. -
When they show pictures of dead iraqis or africans, no one give a shit. When they show picture of dead white people, that is disrespect!!
white supremacy? -

What could you see on the photos? -
Let me guess.
So the present trend of the "countering cyberspace criticism" team is trying it's best at "clothing" themselves, so that they will look like a sheep rather than the wolf.
Lastly, lionnoisy thread = +1 -
Who the heck kills tourists?

It is really in bad taste that ST decided to publish the photos. I don't know why sing and msian newspapers like to show gory pics and give gory details about crime (like rape, murder, so forth). Maybe they assume that the public laps up this kind of sensationalism and that the public has become desensitized to this gory images. I think the pics and detailed wordings appeal to those people who have more of the voyeuristic tendencies. I don't agree with such sensationalism.

Well, the MRT videos may be disrespectful, but at least we managed to see that SMRT has not been very upfront with their video capabilities. Telling us that they do not store the footage then...and now?
What a load of Kerryism. -
Why ah, lionoisy thinks it's disrespectful to have the pictures put up for the public to see in the newspapers but yet deems it fit to post the very picture in his post making noise about using the picture?
