is something one shouldn’t take it too seriously.
They give such dramatic, twist-and-turn, juicy description of the story, depicting something that make most readers believe that it is the FACT. That is their job isn’t it? To create hot topics, raise in readership.. competing which media source is better than which.. (not that there is much to compare here either..)
I just happen to see this group.. and so.. I don’t whether I should believe in the media.. (mostly NOT) given they report the wrong thing most of the time.. creating stories like a best-selling novel. So, don’t make someone guilty when he/she was not even charged.
The NTU stabbing news was definitely a very hot topic.. But why did the media always make an ASS of U an ME??
Below is the summary extracted from FB’s group named “For the truth behind the NTU stabbing incident” (a little duh, but yea.. haha)
Summary of Facts in Chronological Order
*David Hartanto Widjaja*
1) An Indonesian student who was selected to represent Indonesia in International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) in Mexico during his senior high school days at SMUK 1, Jakarta.
2) He is known to be cheerful, nice, pleasant, and not easily stressed. One of his IMO friends said that when David was on the verge not being able to represent Indonesia for IMO, he did not show any sign of disappointment, let alone depression.
3) He is known to be an avid gamer, spending hours everyday playing computer games. His online game friends testify that David, known by the nickname Majin / Terra Majin, is a very fun, humorist, and pleasant person. Some of the games he played are Destiny Online and Hammerfall RPG on Facebook.
4) David’s ASEAN scholarship was terminated at the end of semester 7 due to his poor grades, reported to be below the required 3.5 GPA. David has informed his family as soon as he received this news, which is about 3 weeks before the incident. David and his family accepted the fact, and they don’t have the slightest of problems to make the final $3000 payment for David’s final (8th) semester.
*Final Year Project (FYP)*
1) Prof Chan Kap Luk (CKL) was David’s Industrial Attachment (IA) supervisor.
2) Students in NTU are given the freedom to choose their professor and the project title. David probably chose CKL because David was very satisfied with their relationship during IA.
3) The title of David’s FYP: Multiview acquisition from Multi-camera configuration for person adaptive 3D display. The goal is to create a 3D image of an object by processing the image produced by multiple cameras. If successful, this technology could lead to a breakthrough in security and military technology.
4) This project is reported to have received $500k funding from an unknown source (confirmation required). Whether the money is only for this project, or this FYP is a sub-project of a bigger one, is unknown.
5) The FYP is a two-semester program, so it has already started on semester 7. FYP draft report must be submitted about 4-6 weeks into semester 8, while the final report should be submitted a few weeks thereafter.
6) The FYP grade will not be disclosed until the end of the final semester.
