If you have seen this title before, you probably did. This post is from my friend's website, joeyfoo.wordpress.com, and I hope you like it. (At lease i'm posting some content :D)
Citizen journalism and STOMP are completely opposite. One gives the citizen a platform to write about and share his own opinions, and allow a mature discussion, the other lets you upload photos of other people you don’t like and steals copyrighted content.
Why should STOMP be managed by the police or the SCDF?
Because when most Singaporeans see disruptive behaviour in public like fights, bullies, littering and such acts, the first reaction is to take a photo and send it to STOMP, not call the police.
When most Singaporeans see a suspicious article that could be something dangerous in disguise, they don’t call the police, they take a photo and STOMP it.
When there is a fire, no one calls the SCDF, instead they take photos of the fire and feed live photos to STOMP.
It needs to stop. I don’t want a country where the police and fire fighters learn of crimes and fires indirectly from a website and not the hotline.

That's the important quote; phrase; sentence; whatever you want to call it. I agree with that sentence. I don't want our Singapore Police Force/SCDF to learn of crimes and fires from STOMP, STOMP is about citizen journalism. So please make good use of it.
