The following is an unpublished letter sent to The New Paper last Sunday. The writer had requested that TOC publish it unamended.

Dear Editor,I refer to the Subject with 2 attachments.

On Thursday 18 Aug 11, your paper carried a report on the front page titled, “Tan Jee Say on supporters who booed Tony Tan: We Can’t Control The Crowds”.

The report was accompanied by a picture of me in the foreground. I was in the crowds at the nomination centre of King George’s Ave.

However, I was there to passionately lend my support to Mr Tan Jee Say and not to boo Mr Tony Tan as implied by The New Paper juxtaposing the picture on headlines in the report of its front page. I was also at the same time, cheering for Mr Yam Ah Mee.

Hence, I would like to express my disappointment at the New Paper’s insinuation and unprofessionalism. Indeed, using my picture in such a manner is highly misleading.

Sincerely,

Daniel De Costa

加拿大口罩生产商新加坡设厂

贸工部长陈振声分享,总部设在加拿大蒙特利尔的口罩生产商Medicom集团,将在新加坡设厂。 相信该集团上述举措,乃是为确保面向本区域市场的供应链保持弹性,提供给抗疫前线人员。 预计该厂每月可生产百万以上口罩。陈振声也表示,Medicom集团本地设厂,也显示该集团对我国的信心;疫情期间我国也从未对任何必需品实施出口禁令,确保医疗用品能顺利流向其他国家。
