Wayang Times Says Sorry on 15 February 2010
Wayang Times would like to say sorry to the two unknown (to me) Republic Polytechnic girl and her boyfriend for featuring their (heavily masked) photos which were sent anonymously to Wayang Times and for following up with a report on their story which was initially published here on STOMP. I have since removed the mentioned blog post at the time this new post is published and would like to take the opportunity to also apologise to any readers who were offended by the posting of this news.
I would also like to urge STOMP, and any other blogs and forums owners to take responsibility for their actions and remove any such photos and posts from their websites.
Below is an excerpt of the email sent to me on the morning of 14 February 2010 by a concerned reader who said that he had filed a police report and requested that I remove the blog post within 3 working days, or else.
