But the criticism of Xing was soon side-tracked when pictures of her in a tight, pink dress began circulating online.

This sports journalist may have stumbled at her job but netizens dazed by her beauty are giving her a pass.

BD News journalist Xing Chengbo caused quite a stir online when she flubbed the names of 15 of the 23 national footballers taking part in the EAFF E-1 Football Championship in an article published on Dec 9.

Xing's errors include identifying goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo as Liu Dianzhu and using the wrong Chinese characters for the names of Feng Jin, Mei Fang, Jiang Zhipeng and Ji Xiang, among others.

Her mistakes came as a surprise to many as she had previously covered high-profile sports events such as the 2018 Fifa World Cup and 2014 Asian Games without any incident.

Shortly after the article was published, Chinese netizens flooded Xing's Weibo with comments questioning her professionalism and slamming BD News.

While Xing may have been absolved in the eyes of some netizens, BD News announced on Dec 9 that she would be demoted to a "trainee journalist".

The publication also apologised for the errors and promised to work harder to produce content for its readers.

The National Day Parade may be over, but that doesn't mean that netizens have stopped talking about it.

It seems that one participant caught the eye of several Singaporeans, including blogger Alvinology (https://alvinology.com/2016/08/09/neoh-yew-kim-the-sign-language-girl-who-stole-everyones-heart-at-ndp-2016/), who published a blog post on Ms Neoh Yew Kim, a 22-year-old sign language instructor.

Using sign language, Ms Neoh led 150 special needs participants and the 55,000-strong crowd at the Sports Hub in a mass song-signing activity on Tuesday (9 August 2016).

Dressed in a white dress with her hair pulled back neatly, Ms Neoh's elegance and sweet smile captured the hearts of many who were watching the performance.

An instructional video uploaded on YouTube featuring Neoh song-signing to Home and Count on Me, drew positive comments. One netizen commented that Ms Neoh was "pretty".

There is even a forum thread discussing Ms Neoh's good looks on Hardware Zone (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/eat-drink-man-woman-16/gvgt-yew-kim-mei-mei-quite-cute-even-though-wear-braces-5428478.html).

Neoh, who wears a hearing aid and cochlear implant, told The Straits Times through a sign language interpreter that song-signing enables those who can't hear to "enter the world of music and allows the able-bodied to join in with us in that moment".

According to the daily, the office support worker who is employed in the banking sector, is also a volunteer with various organisations such as the Singapore Association for the Deaf.

The inspiring performer also performed at the opening ceremony of the 8th ASEAN Para Games in Singapore last year.

Humans of Singapore (http://humansofsg.com/page/20), a popular blog showcasing everyday Singaporeans on the street, had also featured Neoh previously.

In a September 2014 post, the blog published a photo of a cheerful Neoh posing candidly at Singapore Polytechnic.

She told the photographer that she suffered from hearing loss when she was just six months old, and attended school with other hearing impaired students as a child. However, when it was time to enter secondary school, her disability became clear and began to overwhelm her.

The struggle to cope hit hard, and she wanted to blame someone for the problems she had at school.

She said in the Humans of Singapore post: "My parents weren't around because they're divorced and live separately, so I couldn't blame them. But I live with my sister and grandmother, and my sister has the same problem, so I became angry and started blaming her instead - I thought that maybe she bit me and I had the same problem!"

Eventually, Neoh began to overcome the obstacles with the help of friends, and by brushing up on her lip-reading skills.

Imperfection, she told Humans of Singapore, does not mean a person is worth less than others.

"Sometimes your imperfection is what makes you resilient, what makes you stronger. So you shouldn't run from it, you should embrace it and make it your own," she was quoted as saying.
