ST criticised for ‘parroting’ Edwin Tong’s remark on viral video of alleged unfriendly response at walkabout 

Bertha Henson, a former Straits Times editor, has criticised ST for its unbalanced reporting on Minister Edwin Tong’s recent walkabout. She questioned why ST echoed Tong’s remarks without verifying with residents and hawkers. Henson stressed that journalists should fact-check rather than “parrot” official statements, citing the elderly man’s reaction in the viral video.
