Averal is so typically Singaporean, not in a bad way though. Here are some of the attributes of typical Singaporeans:
1. They want the government/the "authorities" to step in and solve problems.
2. They see a small/insignificant issue that affects them negatively as some sort of end-of-the-world scale Ragnarok. That relates to point 1, which the government must solve of course.
3. They strongly believe they are moral and just, while others are ugly Singaporeans.
Look around you, typical Singaporeans all around, in the news, on local forums including this one, ew cavemen-breeding Stomp, Hardwarezone etc.
I see this XMM fiasco as an inevitable trend, which is the result of a) low slr pricing, b) easy money for the girls. In Japan and Taiwan, we even have enjou kousai, which is rather more uncommon here and yet, a small issue like whether girls have sexy photos taken of them generate such a hullabaloo.
Even flipfreak, the supposed champion Clubsnapper for XMM shoots tastefully done, would have his works panned by self-righteous TNP reporters to generate newsheadlines. Only to enjoy them in private of course.
I don't see the problem actually. If said models wish to earn money easily by just sitting around, then they have to bear the occapational hazards and learn how to defend themselves. If not, go work at McDonalds or something like the vast majority of your peers. If people think XMM photography is only found in Singapore and CS, then they are plain ignorant. It is far far more prevalent in the land of the rising sun, HK, Taiwan, China, and all the other developed countries, where men have money and young girls want more Pradas.
And finally, the new paper has all these funky ads for massage services and spas at the back. I bet those are real clean.
