YouTube spread scandal
Sometime, we cannot believe at all of what had been posted on video sharing websites. It can be edited by the user in order to damage someone reputation or the images in the video is unclear, so we cannot ensure that it is truth story UNLESS there has evidence to prove it. The video in below is about Chua Soi Lek admits the scandal is a truth in a media conference.
Once this scandal video is exposured to worldwide audiences, that person reputation had be damaged and it can affect his or her professional in that job and bring harm to family reputation too. As Kang states that video sharing websites can bring impact to a person current and future professional job and affect others people perception about that person. From these malicious comments, we can assume that the confidence of public toward Chua Soi Lek is severely reduced.
However, it is dangerous if we insult someone based on the inaccurate rumor video as we can be suited. If we do not know the truth, better do not comment anything based on what we heard and see. Before posting video on website, we should think that whether there has negative effect or not and ensure the content of video can be viewed by others audiences. As public, we should analyze the scandal or gossip with rational thinking before say something about it.
