Unprofessional Media


(Photo for illustration purposes only.)

STOMP is one of those websites which should have been banned from the surface of the internet. The website is filled with rubbish and the writers (Stompers) there made such a big hooha over trivial matters. We all would like to see a marker of standards, especially from a media company. There must have been plenty of gaffes in the past, but it seems only more recently that people are complaining about the missteps of STOMP.  

This site literally stomps on people's privacy. What their writers do not see is that they are hurting all these normal citizens or perhaps innocent victims, mentally and emotionally, with their post online. I assumed, Stomp has harmed more people than we should have know. What if one day you wake up and sees yourself on a Stomp article? Would it be embarrassing and painful for you? It just have to stop.

They are getting extremely ridiculous and absurd; at times, even verging on the edge of atrocious. Half of the stories you see are posted by nosey parkers, not wanting to let others live their own lives. They write things which like rowdy teens, people being intimate in public, elderly (old man) urinating in the lobby, people not giving up sits in public transports, and a lot more.

I mean, this could not be any more accurate on – how rigid minded and childish we Singaporeans are, choosing to spend our time on useless things like these, and instead turn the whole story one hundred and ninety degrees around and complain about how we do not have enough time.

Be cautious whenever you're in public places, because you might be the next Internet sensation, and it's definitely not for something good.

Obviously, many Stompers are ‘enticed’ by Stomp’s policy of rewarding monetary rewards in the form of vouchers, to writers who can post the most news worthy stories. As greedy as Singaporeans can get, Stompers are probably too desperate for a minimal sum of money, and that resort to making a mountain out of a molehill; of everything and anything they come across.

Stomp is the perfect place to see the "REAL" side of Singaporeans – Lack of Manners, No Courtesy, Nosey, Rigid Minded & Very Asian. 

What I can advise is, do not take things personally or seriously as what you're see online may not always depict the truth.


I'm ending abruptly here. I don't know what else to say so...
Till then...


 Thanks for reading! ~
