Civic101 6th Gear May 9, 2021 Share May 9, 2021 If he had managed to make the share price of SPH spike like this instead of just the search interest in the word 'umbrage' and 'SPH', I would not be taking umbrage at his behavior! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't they heard of 拿人手短 One can't possibly bite the hands that feed him. She is also old bird.. it's silly to think she scared take money from say.. cocacola, means cannot report news about Pepsi. Serious journalist in Singapore aren't worried about that. Advertiser is just broad term for the pap govt. Already ranked 160(?)... going to compete with north Korea soon. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is also readers fault lah. Reading also need to use brain lor. If you believe everything they report then who to blame? But there is a saying "A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth".... dun forget there were once someone said we should only listen to the good news..... wait.... will they slam pofma on me??? 🤣 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the main reason is only they have absolute submission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator May 10, 2021 Author Share May 10, 2021 The Um-tionary 1. Umbrage - to be slightly offended, popularised by an ex-General during an unfortunate press conference event 2. Um-gan: 暗干 to curse at someone in silence 3. Um-bai: 暗牌 colloquial for spy 4. Um-chio: 暗笑 to gloat over someone, usually at his misfortune 5. Um-gang: 暗杠 to score a lucky goal 6. Um-um lao bak sai: 暗暗流泪😭 to weep in silence Now to string them all in a story: The General took umbrage at a reporter’s question during a press conference, he um-gan the reporter when he thought she insinuated he will be a lackey for the establishment even after he restructure the company. Not realising that the reporter was actually a um-bai planted by his rival, he went ballistic and incurred public wrath. The um-bai camp um-chio over their um-gang, while the General um-um lao bak sai after he was forced to apologise. 3 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz he is not in position to do all these 3 you mentioned, and he also do not want to be in situation that he also got dragged down into the umbrage topic. That's what I think..

Albeniz Turbocharged May 10, 2021 Share May 10, 2021 (edited) It is quite strange that Umbrage was taken with the first question. Umbrage should be taken on the second question instead.
