I refer to the article: "DEAR TRS, SOMEONE VANDALISE THE WALL OF A HDB FLAT WITH THE COMMENT "F**K"
This following picture is a picture of the Graffiti on Block 85 which went viral on Social Media today.
The artist sprayed/painted the words “FUCK the PAP” “Wake Up SG” and some Anarchy Symbols. Not long after the picture went Viral, STOMP posted an article about it as usual. What surprised me was the way STOMP reported the article. You see, STOMP is known to be a website which isn’t afraid to shame people publicly, by even revealing their photos and other sensitive details. From NSmen to Primary School Kids, STOMP’s editor have spared none in their public shaming.
Well almost none were spared. Remember, some animals are more equal than others.. 
You see, last year, STOMP took down it’s post about Anton Casey not long after it posted it as it was found that Anton Casey was a shareholder of SPH. Oh, and if you didn’t already know by now. STOMP is under the SPH, which is under the Government. It’s interesting how STOMP censors the whole phrase “Fuck the PAP’ instead of the profanity alone. And in my opinion, it’s just a message and saying that it’s crude is an objective opinion. But hey, the editors of STOMP can’t afford to bite the hand that feeds them. And PAP can’t afford any (more) bad press, let alone something from a news source that they control. This just shows that we citizens are still being flooded with Propaganda from these news sources. That’s the reason MDA didn’t shut STOMP down despite 23,000 people who signed the Petition to shut it down.
It was heartening to see that 23,000 people gathered for a common cause, but I believe a lot more has to be done if we want change. Petitions may be a good first step, but they won’t do much. Petitions and Vandalism only help raise awareness, but for things to change we need to take action.
Look at the bigger picture, this isn’t about STOMP, this isn’t about SPH, this isn’t about the Newspapers Act, this is about the people in the power.
It’s nice to see that some people in Singapore still have balls of steel. I respect the vandal artist who did that, he spoke on behalf of many. And like he painted..
Wake Up, Singapore.
PS: Just for the record Although I’m the founder of Wake Up, Singapore, I did not paint that..
