Letter from reader Wendy Halim re: David Widjaja

Dear admin,

Now all his friend wants is his name being cleared from all baseless accusations until Police department report their finding in 3 weeks time. Why all media said it is his fault when Media do have any evidence again him. They just hope the late name being cleared first. Most of them are not allowed to speak up to the media by NTU so i am not surprised that they keep silence.

Some of them did not think Singapore’s Media is credible and reliable anymore because “all” Singapore Media said it was him who stabbed his professor. Please be reminded, no body in the room, no body saw what really happened. Police and his parents has confirmed that there is no slit wound on his wrist but his parents saw the late’s neck was wounded by knife (so is he the victim or the culprit?).

If you have any proof that he is the culprit then i can’t say anything but now media do not have any proof. NTU never said he is the stabber but believed he was. What wonder me is whe all media deleted the word “believed”?
but i do not think Singapore Media would apologize to the late for defamation as i have wrote email to many news editor and none of them reply me.

Sgpolitics.net reply me but made no commitment to alter their statement or apologize to the late, his family and friends. Sgpolitics.net just reply with a message said,”thank you for alerting us, we will be more cautious in the future.” what is this? You have destroyed his character and now just said that? don’t you guys know how pain is their parents and close friends heart when you guys said he suicide because of depression or mental problem or even scholarship issue??? All the claims has been rebuffed with a good evidence and witness. This is also a reason beside others why David parents reject all interview with Singaporean Media. You guys kills his character in the media, made him like a lunatic killer.

I hope for justice and freedom of speech, Singapore Media can alter their statement and apologize. If there is really an equity or fairness or objectivity in Media, I hope Media can go along with it.
