This reporter (Nur Dianah Suhaimi) obviously needed to find a
young super rich spoilt brat for
her story. It appears that she ended up asking her sister if
she had any rich friends (maybe “any of your friends carry LV bag
or not?”), interviewed her sister's friend Agnes Lin, and then
proceeded to write the story below, essentially turning her into
Singapore’s most hated and famous “rich spoilt brat” overnight.
In her personal blog (and also
TOC), Agnes gives her side of the story.
Who do
you believe?

Mum & Dad will provide
For 20-year-old undergraduate Agnes Lin, the recession could just
be academic.
The Nanyang Technological University first-year student has never
been in need: She carries a $2,000 Louis Vuitton handbag to school
and uses only Shiseido cosmetic and skincare products.
She carries around the latest mobile phone and goes on overseas
vacations with her friends where she would bust $1,000 on shopping
alone.
Twice monthly, she shops at her favourite stores - Topshop, Zara
and Forever21.
Mum, a private tutor, and Dad, a businessman selling polythene
bags, pay for her expenses.
Miss Lin is aware that Singapore faces a recession but the news
does not bother her.
She said: 'I think it is okay for me to maintain my current
lifestyle. I may be spending a little bit more than my friends but
I don't think I'm overspending.'
At the moment, she has her eyes on the latest mobile phone in the
market, the HTC Touch Pro, which costs about $700.
Although her mother has said 'no' to her buying yet another mobile
phone, Ms Lin has an inkling she will still get it.
'I think my mum will still buy it for me. My birthday is coming
up!' she said with a giggle. She confessed that since young, she
has never run out of cash. Her parents give her money whenever she
asks.
Since she was 16, her monthly pocket money has been $500.
She has an older brother, also an undergraduate. The family live in
a four-room flat in Marine Parade.
She thinks a friend of hers, who is left with $20 to last until the
end of the month, is silly to consider taking up a part-time job to
earn some extra cash.
'I don't understand why she cannot just ask her parents for money,'
sighed Miss Lin.
She will enter the working world only after three years but she is
already planning ahead.
With her first pay packet, she will buy a $4,000 Chanel bag. 'After
that, I will probably get more bags and watches,' she added.

I asked Adilah (reporter's sister) and you know what crap she
said?
She said " I can't write that down because She (meaning me)
did not want me to write that she is bonded, and if i write that
she is paying her own bills, it will show because this means that
she is drawing a salary"
HELLO ASSWIPE!
drawing a salary means bonded meh?
I cannot work part time meh?
Drawing a salary does not necessarily mean that what!
pls la, pls....
don't give me crap like this just to cover your own shit.
This whole shit is twisted to the point because she wants to
compare between teens who are spoilt fucks and do not need to worry
for shit and others who are more concerned.
ISN'T IT OBVIOUS NOW THAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
i was misquoted and i want my justice done.
MARK MY WORDS, TOMORROW WE WILL SEEEEEE
WHO GETS THE LAST LAUGH.
