Why you nvr should believe the media

My Paper today: http://www.zshare.net/download/141824238defe134/

Goodness me. Yet another article involving the saga and if this shows why we should never trust the media.

"Doctors agree that more health tests are good, but they may not be cost-effective"

$>life>health

good game. what a balanced weighing scale.

"Out of 100 parents polled, eight in 10 said they thought the youth today was less rugged than before. But when it came to their own sons, parents were much kinder in their assessment. Half the respondents did not think their sons were less rugged than their predecessors. They claimed they made sure their sons were active in sports and outdoor life."

This clearly says that the polls are biased and that the numbers should not be taken into consideration.

And yes. Please compare to other nations. Hey the best countries to act as benchmarks would be *drum rolls* ISRAEL & FINLAND. CONGRATULATIONS FOR WINNING NOTHING!

I believe that these stories have a follow up already prepared. Something like oh SAF will do "XXXX" even though this article somehow states that actually most Singaporean parents with a son do not expect/want/require/wish for a change in the system. And also going against the doctors' "cost-effective" preach by coming up with some mid-tier exercise which requires minimal expenses. And voila. HURRAY!

Goodness me. The medical check up does not need a revamp. It does not need new equipment/gadgets to correctly take down certain physical defects.

So yea once again. Don't believe the media
