Sales, Social and Tech

In an earlier post, I shared that there was a rumour spreading on the blogosphere that Cecilla Sue, the IT Sales Manager, involved in the Ng Boon Gay corruption case, has send out letter of demand to bloggers. Wanbao has outed the blogger to be Alvin Lim of Alvinology.com . Here's a screenshot from Omy.sg. Ironically, Alvin is also the online marketing manager at Omy.sg. Omy.sg is part of Singapore Press Holdings. Screenshot from  http://singaporenewsalternative.blogspot.sg/ Alvin has since deleted the offending post but has not posted an apology in his blog as of this posting.  It seems Cecilla Sue took offence to the parody images by 9GAGSG but reposted on Alvin's blog.  If reposting images is considered defamation, it would be interesting to see if Cecilla Sue will also send letter of defamation to the forums like Hardwarezone.com which also saw its members reposting 9GAGSG images like this .

On the rare occasion I read the newspaper, I spotted what seems to be the journo's favourite pose. The male journos seem to prefer the chin resting on fist pose as seen in the photo below. Showing the fist is an attempt to show brawl and authority, short of showing the middle finger to the readers. The head needs to rest on the fist because it is heavy with thoughts of the next 1000 words.
