To the producers of internet website "Stomp",
We, the readers of the your website, are extremely displeased with you. Why? Because of your inaction.
A plagiarizer, one Dawn Yang, has been caught red-handed plagiarizing at least 15 (so far) of her Star Blog entries, and you are not doing anything about it.
Furthermore, the culprit went on national radio and pushed the blame to you, saying that Stomp encouraged her to do research (does it mean copying?) and she didn't know she had to cite.
Does Stomp pay starbloggers $2,000 to copy and paste?
She had the nerve to not only copy and paste chunks of text with no paraphrasing whatsoever, but to actually plagiarize from popular authors like Robert Greene and our own Prime Minister!
Even posts about her own opinions such as her movie reviews are entirely lifted off amazon.com.
If you allow plagiarisers to publish their articles on My Paper and Stomp without giving any just repercussions, we take this to mean that you endorse the serious act of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is illegal and offenders should get their just punishment.
Your inaction makes us lose trust for SPH, our once-reliable source of information.
Why is it that no newspaper has reported this shameless deed of hers? Are you all covering up for her?
Therefore, we urge you to, with immediate effect,
- FIRE DAWN YANG PUBLICLY
- APOLOGIZE FOR ALLOWING SUCH ILLEGAL MATERIAL TO BE PUBLISHED
- REMOVE ALL THE OFFENSIVE ENTRIES FROM STOMP
This petition will be emailed to the authors she copied from.

- She outright lied and said it was only "2 or 3" stomp blog entries when questioned by the DJ. How can you condone such behavior? Are you sending the public the message that it is OK to profit from intellectual dishonesty? I will boycott SPH's publications and your sponsors' products until you take appropriate actions.

- She obviously doesn't regret plagiarizing as she didn't apologize on radio, but EVEN lied about it, saying it was only 2, when in reality it's more than at least 30. Such a lack of character ought to be penalized.

- IF I KILL ONLY 2-3 PEOPLE, AM I GUILTY OF A CRIME? IF I ONLY STOLE FROM 2-3 PEOPLE AND ONLY WHEN PEOPLE FIND OUT, THEN I ASK FOR PERMISSION, AM I STILL GUILTY OF THEFT?

- By condoning her actions, you are setting a bad example to the youth of today. My children will think it is alright to steal people's content and put them word for word into their GP paper. By condoning her actions, you are making life difficult for mothers like me when I rebuke them for copying, beacuse they will reply that even STOMP ask dawn yang to research and thus use people's content w/o citation.

- Stomp and straits times, how many of your writers are plagiarizing? Do you think that by keeping silent, this will go away? You have tarnished every inch of reputation that you have built up over the years. Please do not fool your readers anymore. Our veils are lifted.

- Plagiarism is a serious crime. I learnt the hard way in school with all reports and projects being churned under a software to cleverly detect any forms of plagiarisms. It gets unjustifiable and nasty when a public writer plagiarise blatantly under SPH.

- Plagiarism is as good as selling pirated CD from Johor. Come on guys, do you hope that one day your articles get copied by another news agency (w/o citation)!!!
