Wanted: An eggs expert [NST 8/1/17/T4/SUN2]

Elaboration

NST Smartphones may be smart, but are the users as smart?

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S1

NST BEWARE of fake eggs in the market!

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S2

NST And be careful when buying food from diners and other
outlets selling foodstuff and daily essentials.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S3

NST The fake eggs are supposedly exported from China, a

country said to be very creative in coming out with
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S4 technology-produced food.

NST The eggs are said to be one of them.

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S5

NST The information is not verified.

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S6

NST No known authority has come forward to confirm or deny

the existence of those eggs.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S7

NST
Consumers are made aware of the eggs via social media.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S8

NST The main problem, if not the only problem, is one of

authenticity.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S9

NST
Are there really such fake eggs in the market?
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S10

NST If so, how do we spot them?

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S11

NST And who is the authority that determines whether these

eggs are genuine or fake?
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S12

NST Apparently, one of the fastest ways of spreading this Subtype I:

information is using WhatsApp via the smartphone. clarification
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S13 Subtype II:
distractive

NST You need to send it to only one person or to one chat

group.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S14

NST
Before you know it, half the country has got that
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S15
information.
NST There is good and bad in this.

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S16

NST Good because the consumer is made aware of the

existence of the product.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S17

NST Bad because there is no one with authority to verify

whether the information is real or a hoax.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S18

NST
Perhaps the relevant authority should step in and advise
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S19
the public appropriately.

NST Smartphone users are so trigger happy that they want to be

seen to be the first person to disseminate news.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S20

NST The advent of social media has turned every smartphone

user into conveyers of news, rumours, gossip, tips, advice
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S21 and words from God.

NST Hopefully, the recipients have the knowledge to discern

which is true and which is not.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S22

NST Im sure some of you remember the so-called breaking

news pertaining to the demise of Datuk Harun Din, the
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S23 well-known Muslim scholar, and Tan Sri S.M. Salim, the
evergreen singer of traditional Malay songs.

NST Smartphone users had used Twitter, Facebook and

WhatsApp to spread news that was later denied by family
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S24 members.

NST The announcements by family members were then made

and accepted as reliable and correct.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S25

NST Another example of a viral piece of information was the

picture of a rat treating itself to pastries in a food warmer of
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S26 a convenience store.

NST This piece of information that was accompanied by a

photograph is indeed useful and seen as credible.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S27

NST I would think many times before buying pastries in these

places after seeing the picture.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S28

NST Just after this picture went viral, WhatsApp users got
another shock when pictures of a cat eating bits and pieces
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S29 of chicken on top of a chopping board of a tandoori stall
surfaced.

NST Disgusting really!

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S30

NST Im not sure if the authorities had taken any action against
the convenience store and tandoori restaurant.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S31

NST If the authorities have not acted, then something is wrong

with them.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S32
NST Or maybe they have not received the information on their
smartphones.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S33

NST On a lighter note, I have a friend who sends out Subtype:

promotional videos of movies on his smartphone. dismissive
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S34 clarification

NST Last night, Johan a strong believer in social media

sent out two video clips of movies showing in local
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S35 cinemas.

NST One was Dangal and the other was The Great Wall.

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S36

NST Johan is a movie buff, having spent time as a performing

artiste on stage as well.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S37

NST When he makes a recommendation that these movies are

to be watched, they are usually spot on.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S38

NST Lately, hes been sending song clips taken from YouTube.

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S39

NST A very big collection of songs, some of which Ive never

heard before.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S40

NST They are not the usual songs you listen to on the radio, but
songs from various countries and genres.
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S41

NST I guess this is what social media is all about sharing Subtype:
knowledge and information. expository

apposition

NST But one must have some real knowledge to sieve through
what is real and what is not, what is genuine and what is
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S43 nonsense.

NST Two days ago, a childhood friend, S.M., sent me a

WhatsApp message warning me about an old lady going
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S44 around kidnapping children in Cheras.

NST The message even had a picture of the old lady!

8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S45

NST When I asked how come there is no news about the so-
called kidnappings in the newspapers and on television,
8/1/17/T4/SUN2/S46 S.M. didnt reply.

NST Obviously he did what most other smartphone users did Subtype:
