Social media shakes up Singapore political terrain

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_singapore/view/1128130/1/.html

\"...Popular blogger Lee Kin Mun, who runs the satirical site mrbrown.com, said the PAP was not used to the spontaneous, two-way communication in social media.

\"They have full control of the media here, so you've got mainstream media, papers and TV stations and radio stations toeing the line for you and disseminating your views, your spin to the public,\" he told AFP.

\"Now you can't be shielded any more... You tell people to 'like' you on your Facebook page, I will 'like' just to go in there and say something I don't like about you,\" he added....\"

Moral of the story? Don't anyhow add friends or ask people to 'like' your facebook page? :razz:

Do you agree with the writer's point? Do you think social media is anti-PAP?

Oh, I thought the bigger lesson will be to listen, understand and respond to the people you serve, whether are they your citizens, customers or employees.

From what I saw this election, I agree with the writer.

Those very few who spoke up for PAP usually get slammed like crazy.
There’s no balanced debate.

Maybe I didn’t look in the right places.

Btw, why is there such a trend ? Any ideas ?
