TT some of your headlines and your Mod’s comments are sorely in need of editing! This photo is of a flat that “has been splashed” with paint. If it was a photo of a flat “being splashed” with red paint there should be someone in the photo splashing the paint. If not, then it is just a photo of a flat that “has been splashed” with red paint. Oh your tenses and grammar can be painful at times.

‘Had been’. Yours is no better.
sweetbean said
Wrong – this IS a photo of a flat that HAS BEEN or you can substitute WAS – had been – that’s Manglish (Mandarin English)
stevenadosan said
Had been is correct.
sweetbean said
Nope

My God, the quality of English language here is really awful. “Neighbours flat being splashed with red paint by loan sharks”. This is one of the silliest heading i have seen this decade to depict the picture in question. Where on earth are the loan sharks if the red paint is “being splashed?” Temasek Times be please be more commited and attentive to what’s being posted esppecially when it concerns the correct use of the English language. if any of you seem unsure about sentence construction in the English language, please call me. I will be more than happy to assist. By the way, I am a Singapire born local, just in case any of you have any doubts about my good intentions for TT. Have a nice day people.

Stop critisizing our language. If you don’t like the way we phrase our words in singlish, go back to your country of origin.

I doubt so that the Singapore Police Force will do so as they will frequently tell you that they simply can’t do anything about it as far as loan sharks are concerned!

Does not look like it was being splashed with paint with a pail. It looked more like a small cup. Hardly a splash judging by the cup.
