I can’t help notice that some of the writers to either the Stooge Times ‘Forum’ or Today’s ‘Voices’ are regulars and it makes me wonder just why out of a population of 4.5 million people, often just a handful of people get their letters published, and whenever my friends try to send in something their letters never get published.

As such, I have begun today collecting statistics on just how often the letters of Lim Boon Hee, Alvin Sim, Denis Distant, Dudley Au etc appears on the Stooge Times ‘Forum’ & Today’s ‘Voices’.

In fact, since the editors claim they receive hundreds of letters a day, and the letters of these people keeps getting published, then we must ask just what is so bad about those hundreds of rejected letters that they never see the light of day, but the letters of these few individuals are so spectacular that they must be published! In other words, the objective of this ‘project’ is to determine if the editors are being objective in the selecting what to publish.

This little ‘project’ will last until the 14th of Aug (Tue), in which I will present the results in a spreadsheet which will be downloadable on this blog. During this period, samples of letters which are well written, and the ‘dumb and dumber’ letters that for god knows what reasons the editors deem right to publish will be collected as well.

You can say I have nothing better to do or ‘eat finish no shit to poot’ for all I cared. The Internet community has a duty and responsibility to keep the paper honest and objective and ensure that more people are allowed to speak up and be heard.
