Hi 5.5,

about local blogger, Dawn Yang who is now in trouble for suspecting to have copied part of PM's speech and placing it on her own blog as part of her own opinions.
Many of the bloggers have also commented about her poor behaviour and of the defamatory (insulting) remarks made in her blog.

Did you know that whole-sale copying of other people's opinions and ideas could also lead to having to make a public apology??? Plus, you could also be brought to court if you are not careful with what you put on your blog.

Noting that these are one of the most popular bloggers in Singapore, they are so popular that they even have fans who visit and read their blogs faithfully.

Being cyberwise Andersonians, what do you think of the behaviour of such bloggers??
Are they good model examples for other bloggers???

Feel free to put in your comments. Original from you please.
