Truth is what you make of it
I read
this post on Dr. Fletcher's blog and snorted in a politically apathetic way. Then, since I was blog-surfing anyway (for the first time in weeks), I surfed on to Agagooga and saw
this post. For those of you too lazy to click on the links, here's the gist of it.
The post on Dr. Fletcher's blog was a reproduction of a letter to a leading newspaper in Singapore that seemed to be expressing the author's approval of a pay increment for civil servants. The post on Agagooga was a reproduction of said author's
comment on a blog post clarifying that his letter to the newspaper was meant to be satirical and that the paper had actually edited his letter to make it seem as if he approved of the pay increment.
As I have stated time and again, I suffer from acute political apathy, so my motive, such as it is, for writing this post is solely for the lulz. Far be it from me to suggest that either party is lying through their teeth, but
one of them (assuming of course that the author of the letter did actually post the clarifying comment) obviously is. I leave it to you, dear reader, to draw your own conclusions about the Truth, if such a spectacular animal ever existed.
