  10. 1)This message is cut from mediacorp then put on youtube by moroon5ever or the witnesses created the message
    2)The interviewer went to the crime scene and they interviewed the eye witness and the police.The interview was also detail, as they told the time and the date the incident happened.
    3)People have different point of view. Some people will think that David Hartanto Widjaja stabbed the professor is because of stress or under pressure while i will think that he maybe have some other reasons example like he might miss his family but the professor did not let him pass his final year project so he was angry with the professor and if the professor let him pass, he can go back indonesia to reunion with his family. He also might came from a poor family and his parent work day and night just to pay for his university fees and he do not want to upset his parent so he committed suicide.
    4)This message tells us that when we face difficulties,we should face it but not hiding from the difficulties. The last resort is to committing suicide and god create us is not wanting us to commit suicide but is to face obstacles and overcome them. We should think twice before we act and if we commit suicide, our family and friends around us will be very sad. If David Hartanto Widjaja do not want to upset his parent, he should prepare for the test.
    5)This message was sent is to tell us what had happened. We should treat both party fairly and we do not want the same incident to happen again :D

  13. 1. This message is given by MediaCorp on Channel News Asia.

    2. They interviewed several people to voice out their opinions towards this incident, and this really helped an audience like me, to understand more about the scene.

    3. Everyone has different thoughts and opinions, so it is up to us to decide whether this piece of news is true or false. From David's families and friends point of view, they might think that the professor was giving him too much stress which resulted in such incident. While on the other side, the professor's family may think that it is the student fault as he can't handle his stress well.

    4. This message tells us that we must manage our stress well, and not to choose committing suicide to resolve everything. We have to be brave to overcome all the ups and downs in life and not to give up easily. We have to have determination and perserverance.

    5. This message is given out as there are many people out there concerned about this piece of news.

    2)The creative techniques are interviewing more than just one person to get their point of views and what they witness in this incident.

    3)Different people may thing differently as they have their own point of view. They also may read this incident from other website. This makes them thinks differently.

    4)Stress must be overcome by ourselves properly, not by committing suicide. Counselling is the best way to release stress. We should always think before we act.

  18. 1)This is done by MediaCorp.
    2)The photos of the crime scenes, the interviews with the students.
    3)They might have pity the professor and not David as most of them think that is David's fault for stabbing the professor because of stress or other reasons and not the professor while I think the opposite.
    4)Stress can lead to alot of consequences like wanting to kill the person who has given you alot of stress or just wanting to commit suicide to end the miserable life of his. But David could just ask for help and not do such stupid thing to himself as he will hurt the people who cared about him...
    5)This message is sent out to the public about the incident.

  19. 1) This message is created by Media Corp.
    2) They interviewed many people including interviews with the students and also gave pictures of the incident.
    3) Others might think that it was David fault instead of the professor's and blame David and pity the professor.
    4) Stress can lead to many different dangerous consequences like killing ones self. He could have consulted teachers, councilers and parents help for the stress instead of commiting suicide to end his stressful life and hurt the people who cared about him. His parents would get hurt the most as they watched him grow up and took care of him until now and their efforts all went down the drain...
    5) This message is sent out to inform and tell the public about the incident.

    4)School can be tough and hard to cope hence stress is commomly found on all this students.But there are many variety of ways like hanging out with friends or by playing sports to relieve stress hence i don't think this is a wise choice to end one;s life.He could also consult teachers, councilers or parent's help for coping stress instead of commiting suicide to end his stressful life as this would hurt the people who cared about him

  27. 1. Media Corp and it's interviewers created this message.

    2. They used pictures taken at the scene of incident to attract my attention. They also used the tone in their voice to project concern and thus, attracting my attention.

    3. As different people have different sides of view, they will sometimes explore out of the box. Therefore it is important to let the viewers know the whole story, otherwise leading to confusion.

    4. They did not add in David's stressful life, important values such as stress reduction, and David's family point of view.

    5. It is their job to produce messages, even though it is incorrect, to the whole Singapore, or to the whole world. But even so, Media Corp should try their best to produce correct messages. The messages are also send to imform people what is happening around Singapore and the other countries and cities, or else, we would be kept in the dark even though something terrible is happening.
