"Who" or "Whom" (relative pronouns)

Usage of the above relative pronouns has confused many writers and quite frequently newpaper editors; and to share with you a case of the latter, I reproduce below my article written to and published by THE STAR'S MIND OUR ENGLISH on April 26, 2006 concerning the wrong usage of "who" for "whom" in a news item in the front page of The Star of April 19, 2006:-

MIND OUR ENGLISH Wednesday April 26, 2006
Whom (not who) do you trust?
I REFER to the survey front-paged by The Star on April 19 with the question “WHO DO YOU TRUST MOST?”.
The question should have been “WHOM DO YOU TRUST MOST?” instead.
Likewise, the beginning sentence in the story should have been: “The Business Ethics Institute of Malaysia commissioned a survey of some 2,000 Malaysians on whom [and not “who”] they trust most in terms of occupation.”
The explanations can be derived from http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/arts/writcent/hypergrammar/pronouns.html

My above article has provided a source where you can find guidelines for the correct usages. In fact, The Star also published another article of the same subject by Oh Teik Theam on September 29, 2006 in which the writer had given a very good advice about the correct usage. Such advice which can be an easy guide is also reproduced herein:-

To decide when to use “who” or “whom”, apply this test: if the thought in the who/whom clause is best expressed by he/she/they, use “who”; if him/her/them does the trick, use “whom”.
