Joceline Tan, not sure I got the name correctly or not but that's the writer/commentator from The Star who writes a political piece every weekend. To tell you honestly, I am no fan of her nor dislike her in anyway. To me she's just normal and your average Jane writer. Nevertheless, recently since I have gotten a knack for reading political blogs and cyber opinion space, I find her a little bit fake. I have been observing her article for the past whole month now and I feel she is a puppet or someone else's hand. Her article on mostly political issue pertaining to current affairs and etc are a bit bias and to me sound like standing on the side of the administration. If I wouldn't had know better, I think she's a G supporter and an anti opposition establishment. I had read her stories on her take on the IJOK by election, on Anwars party election, she sound so fake. I always thought journalist/writer are supposed to be neutral, to be impartial and to give all the facts to the reader to decide. I was wrong. In this 21st century era, journalist/writer are not so sacred and naïve anymore. They are after all, a worker and have to bring money home to feed the kids.

I was a bit disappointed and as well as sad that I found out the truth. If I hadn't read more online, search online and still sticking to just reading the local news media, I would had been con just like the few thousand people out there. Here I am attaching a few of her articles over here for your own judgment. Why would a young woman who has good potential writing skills letting this kind of thing get into her? I feel sorry for her and her boss. Worst part is, for many people who don't have access to the online world and are dependent on news media for information, they will buy her stories on face value just as I did many many years ago. Hence, no wondered G is not very supportive and going full steam to make internet cheaper and easier for the population. I guess they already know that if more information are easily obtain from the internet then nobody will ever believe in what they had to say. Its all political propaganda. So called "WAYANG KULIT".
