In response to News Radio 93.8's media reports explaining why the 2nd broadcast was edited and its accusation that the Think Centre "got it facts wrong", the Centre's Board of Directors have sent a letter to RCS, demanding that they (RCS) prove their case. RCS has yet to respond or acknowledge the letter. Meanwhile they continue to claim that re-editing was for the interview with Tan Kong Soon and want to play the incident down. Read TC's letter in full... Stay tuned while we bring Tan Kong Soon's take on the matter very shortly.

RE: International Human Rights Day programme on 11th December 2000 (Mon)
Our Board of Directors view seriously the allegations made against Think Centre by you in media reports stating that we were factually wrong in our Media Watch report of the 93.8FM International Human Rights programme on 11/12/2000 (Mon) which was hosted by Fauziah Ibrahim.
In light of these allegations, we request you provide us a transcript of the radio programme as well as a tape recording (as it was aired-inclusive of the presenter's comments) so that the matter can be clarified.
I believe that if you're serious about your alleged statements, this request should not pose a problem.
