No url on the main text... My blog was the only one that they failed to provide a url link. Here's the link to the page online. (A new window will open).
In case the link would not work later, here's the paragraph as quoted from the website.
Still, blogger "Votre Coeur" felt that blogs opened a new perspective, "though these fresh perspectives may not be any better or worse than the one by the local media; the reader will have to read both sides of the story and decide for themselves". Blogger "Mr Cellophane" (cheewing.blogspot.com) was also of the impression that blog and forum activity during the hustings showed that Singaporeans were far from politically apathetic.And the screenshots of the online version.

Half-way through writing this, I had a conspiracy theory that my coverage for the rally prevented my url from being listed on Today. That is until I visited Miyagi's version of the article and I double checked with the pdf version online. Apparently I was quoted again in that article where the text version missed out, together with Singabloodypore and Yawning Bread, both did extensive coverage for the elections.
Extracted from the PDF version of the same article
So it became a mystery as to why the link here is missing. Ah well, I can do without the media's attention too but am just curious though.
Anyway, I'm honoured that Mr Miyagi dropped by our blog and even quoted a few lines for his article in Today. Thanks for the mention. And thanks to sucre's friend (whoever you are), for spotting that we were quoted by Today but the link was missing. Otherwise I would had let this slipped by.
PS. Anyone had a hardcopy of today featuring this article to pass on to me?
Update 10/5/06, 11:00pm: Just checked with Mr Miyagi, it was unintentionally left out. So there can't be any conspiracy theory. What a shame cos that will definitely be something worth writing in my next piece. Just Kidding!
