The NTU Chronicle gets muzzled
So it appears that one day, Chee Soon Juan showed up in NTU out of the blue and the Chronicle scrambled to piece together a story - which was unfortunately killed by the Suits:
After much negotiation between the paper’s teacher-advisors and the university, NTU president Su Guaning gave the article the go-ahead. However, he changed his mind at the last minute, and the article was removed just one day before the newspaper’s publication on Monday (15th September).
…
In the end, it featured only a visit of a different sort – that of the former President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who is a stranger among Singaporean students.
“there was a feeling of concern over the use of student media to publicise and promote the unsolicited views of an uninvited person to the campus,” goes the official word, but hey - you wait. Just wait till one day the PM shows up unannounced. It’ll be on the front page of not just the Chronicle, but every sheet of paper leaving the corporate comms office.
Disclaimer: Don’t let the fact that I’ve had so many run-ins with the NTU admin fool you into thinking that I”m biased. Not at all! :)

Just completed Mass Effect on PC. Insanely well-done game, blurs the line between a shooter and a RPG.
Fallout 3 coming end October, booked leave yet? :)
Happy birthday in advance, old man.
