In its birth , TRS was heralded as a new addition to a slew of "alternative news sites". Sort of like a counter-propaganda tool against possible mainstream media manipulation by the ruling party, PAP. It used to publish good reading material, which lived up to its name as the "real singapore" , by voicing out the views of average Singaporeans (Sinkies FTW). However, lately, the standards are dropping. Drastically.
It is saddening to see a wonderful site decaying, publishing articles that are poorly worded. ( here's a brilliant example :http://therealsingapore.com/content/ntuc-child-abuse-case-parents-may-have-overreacted). Now, if you ask a majority of SG netizens on whether this site is credible as a news source, I doubt that the majority will agree.
Hence, I sincerely request to the admin of this site to buck up . You need to take a good look at your published materials and you need to stop the substandard ones from going on your page. Publish the real facts and don't oppose for the sake of opposing. The PAP might be wolves in sheep clothing, but it doesn't mean they are wrong in every aspect. Without them, my education costs would have bankrupted my parent's bank account., and I am thankful for that.
All in all, please buck up.
Yours Sincerely,
A concerned Netizen
