hercules:The day after WP's first rally, all newspapers were sold out at Rivervale Mall by afternoon ; the day after PAP's last rally (cooling-off day), newspapers were not sold out; the day after WP won the election, all Chinese papers were sold out by 10.30am. Same stall I witnessed from. Not sure if they did alter the supply of the newspapers there though... 😉To me, Zao Bao is DEAD.Dora1:
And anyone reads lian he zao bao? When I read it at my IL's place occasionally, I sometimes doubt that I am reading the newspaper of another country - why is what is written so different from my own experience, or even ST!
So shallow and so empty and wonder why still got people buying it (perhaps the older generation people).
It will die in the near future for sure after the older generation passes on.
Am wondering what is the true blue Singaporean vs 'new' Singaporean staff ratio in Zao Bao (with that kind of so low standard of Chinese in our schools, it is difficult to have people with Chinese powerful enough to do meaningful analysis and write up. Best most of our local can do perhaps is to read/write in English and then translate it into Chinese).
Haven't you heard of Hungary Ghost Festival joke? Zao Bao will be / is filling up with people like this.
Zao Bao? YAWN....
