The Gushcloud-Singtel scandal
Click HERE.
Two useful things I noted from this saga (there could be more):
-anonymity online is useful to encourage whistle-blowers to come forward to expose corruption or unethical practices
-the smear campaign advocated by Gushcloud is an example of untruths spread in cyberspace. But note the interesting paradox here: While the internet is guilty of spreading untruth, it is also capable revealing the truth, as in this case when the smear campaign came to light. Reminds me of the Chinese proverb -- "the one who tied the bell in the first place is also needed to untie it"
Here is some background on the scandal. Note the useful local example of CEO Singtel Ms Chua Sock Koong as a female corporate leader for gender-related questions.
