What the?

Singaporeans from all walks of life and with various erotic appeal have wondered out loud why Straits Times political reporter Robin Chan sounds so kinky in print.

This after ST ran a series of quotes and greetings wishing Lee Kuan Yew a happy 90th birthday yesterday.

Wa Jin Hai, a Singaporean, said: “You look at all the other effusive praise for Lee Kuan Yew. All so PG and wholesome, read already also won’t feel embarrassed.”

“And then you look at political reporter Robin Chan’s comment. What’s up with the kinky, brutal, orgasmic, heavy-breathing tone? Looks as if it’s a quote out of 50 Shades of Grey.”

“You can literally cut out the quote and slap it onto the 50 Shades book and it won’t even look out of place.”
