Brudirect removes insensitive tabloid. Sometimes you have to draw a line when it comes to publishing controversial stories. Brudirect crossed the line today by posting a sensitive issue that has caused an uproar among the locals. But I do salute Ignatius for taking prompt action in removing down the article and the video link. Though some damage has been done, it's time to move on and let's forget of the past.
Oh yeah, I wonder how the motto of Brudirect came about as Brunei's No.1 News Website ;)

It's not about winning Blog of the Year. It's about giving back to the community. It would be nice to win the trophy though but the real winners are the readers and the voters and even if I don't win, the votes are still going to be donated to SMARTER. So do and you can make a difference as every votes from Ranoadidas will be converted to dollars and cents and I will donate that to SMARTER Brunei.
