“A serial cat killer may be on the loose”, reports mainstream media on the recent deaths of stray cats at Pasir Ris Park.

Visit their report in the links below:
Straits Times – Dead felines in Pasir Ris Park raise fears of serial cat killer
Today Online – Dead felines at Pasir Ris Park spark concerns of serial cat killer

The titles lacks any originality, which may imply that the angle of the story was fixed.

According to what TOC gathered, nothing had happened to the cats for years till the recent event, “Water Venture Adventure Challenge” that was held right next to the Water Venture building, under People’s Association where the cats roam.

The event that was held on 21 June, had Deputy Prime Minister, Teo Chee Hean as the guest of honour.

Event held right next to where the cats used to roam

TOC understands that this led to a massive cleaning operation by the Water Venture to clear up the place in light of the presence of DPM Teo.

A week before the event, the cleaners at the area had warned the feeders to relocate the cats as they have been instructed to clean the place thoroughly due to the walk that will be carried out.

Water Venture has declined to meet representatives from the National Parks and Cat Welfare Society to talk about the issue.

Event at Pasir Ris Park not reported

So apart from TOC, this detail was given to the mainstream media but was it reported?

Just why did the mainstream media leave out the fact that the event which Deputy Prime Minister, Teo Chee Hean was held just last Sunday and that there was a “clean-up” operation by PA’s Water Venture?

If similar circumstantial evidence were presented in court for murder, Attorney General Officer could surely find one guilty of murder by proving that the person had the right motivation and unusual circumstances surrounding the incident.

The cats disappeared all at once, instead of one by one. Which begs the question of why MSM labelled the cat killer as a serial cat killer when it was only a one-time incident, a better description of this perpetrator would be mass cat killer.

While DPM Teo would likely have no idea of what was done prior to his presence as VIP for the event, but having the death of the cats being mentioned along with his name, would be certainly negative publicity.

Should the points were highlighted in media, there is no doubt what conclusion would members of the public come to after all these years dealing with individuals from People’s Association and the Resident Centres.

《联合早报》民调显示 近七成网民反对疫情下举行选举

上周,总理接受本地主流媒体采访,指如果经济大致上还能正常运作,大家还能办公、工作组织事情,即便不能大群体群聚,但还是能“把事情办得来”,仍可以采取适当措施,调整一般举行选举的方式。 他也提及例如以色列也在疫情下举行选举,至于美国部分州属也进行了总统初选,“这些是可以办到、解决的事。” 不过,《联合早报》早前进行民调,多达1万1600余网民参与投票,不过其中有近七成、约67巴仙的群众,不同意在疫情下举行选举。 吊诡的是,不久后民调就被抽起,迄今在该报官网的民调已找不到网民投票记录。 3月中旬,总理李显龙在上周六(14日)才在脸书贴文释放信息,指如需要在疫情过去签前选举,需采取必要防疫措施;隔日(15日)韩咏梅就发表评论附和领导人,在疫情可控情况下举行选举的论述。 截至今日,全球累计确诊78万人,其中美国灾情最严重,确诊人数已飙升至16余万人。 至于在今年3月初举行议会选举的以色列,截至3月2日,全国有10起确诊。但截至31日,累计确诊人数已飙升至4千695起,16人病故。 新加坡截至目前为止,已有879例确诊病例,有三人不幸病故。
