He was the only one that took the fall for Sin Chew, why?

Just read online, in July this year, the senior writer of Sin Chew Daily, Mr Loh Cheng Boon, had resigned from Sin Chew, to take the responsible for the plagiarism scandal the newpaper is in.

Right after his resignation, more acts of plagiarism in Sin Chew Daily were exposed by the public online, and they happened after he had left. So what is going on here? If he was the only one who committed plagiarism, then the acts of plagiarism should have stopped with his resignation.  So Sin Chew Daily just put all the blame on Mr Loh, and hope the fact that Sin Chew is full of works of plagiarism will just go noticed? What a shame.

And strangely, how come none of his peers who graduated from Taiwan showed him any kind of support? And his former students? He was a teacher in a Chinese Independent Middle School in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. So much for Chinese kind of social etiquette.

The truth of Malaysian Chinese, the social etiquettes, social protocol of friendships, old acquaintances, are simply based on practicality, i.e. benefits. Mr. Loh is not the only one who committed plagiarism in Sin Chew, but only he resigned. Sin Chew is still publishing works of plagiarism.

And here are the links to critics about Sin Chew plagiarism

A shameless major newspaper. Only in Malaysia. It is time we let them know, all newspapers have to take their social responsibility seriously.

剛在網上看到,原來星洲日報的主筆羅正文在今年7月辭職了。他辭職是表示爲星洲日報的抄襲社論負責。

在他正式離職的第二天,網友又在星洲日報上看到抄襲的社論。之後還是陸續有抄襲的社論類的文章被揭露。難道星洲日報以爲只要說羅正文已經辭職了,就不會有人注意星洲日報是不是有抄襲的文章了?未免太小看馬來西亞的讀者了。


以下是評論星洲日報抄襲的連結:

羅正文是留台人,在加入星洲日報之前,曾在馬來西亞砂越州美里市的一家獨中教過書。怎麽沒看到留台人或他以前的學生出言支持或者安慰的?這是馬來西亞華人社會的真面目:甚麽人情,禮儀,全是在計算利害關係。


羅正文不是星洲日報中惟一抄襲的人,但只有他辭職。他走了之後,星洲日報還是陸續被揭露有抄襲的文章。大報一直在抄襲,還想含糊過去,只在馬來西亞。
