Blogging scandal

Hi everyone, since we are doing blogging these two terms, I have decided to post about one of the blogging scandals in Singapore which attracted a lot of media attention a few years back. Some of you may have a little memory of this incident. For those of you who may forgotten, I shall enlighten you now.

A man named Derek Wee posted in his blog and talked about his views on certain matters in Singapore (http://derekwee.blogspot.com/). Wee Shu Min, an RJC student at that time, responded with comments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wee_Shu_Min) deemed inappropriate by some.

This scandal took place in 2006 and received a lot of public attention. Wee Shu Min, after the incident, apologised for her comments and removed the post, also shutting down the blog.
