I like today’s Straits Times front page a lot. Somebody at ST is probably pissed about how the PAP is saying one thing about the banks: “Banks sound, system working well says Tharman”, while thousands of retirees might lose all of their life-savings due to possible mis-selling of minibond products by these same banks: $100,000 Life Savings GONE.
If you want to say something, but can’t say it outright, this is one creative way of doing so. Or maybe it wasn’t intended. Who knows.
What a contrast! Thanks for sharing this

I noted the irony too. Good to think that the ST could occasionally rise above its imposed self-censorship on the side of the truth.
We know that its editorial board gets a drubbing whenever its headlines and reports, however meritorious, rub someone the wrong way.
Such is the failing of man.
