PM Lee shared a photo of Singapore's Table tennis teams at the Commonwealth Games on his Facebook page and wrote that both the men's and women's teams had won gold.
Singaporeans quickly took to the photo and commented how there were no Singaporeans in the photo and how they were not proud of having "bought" these gold medals.
However, despite the comments not making any personal attacks or being derogatory, the comments were promptly deleted by PM Lee's Facebook admins.
In fact, they went into overdrive in comment deleting that the photo has not got a single comment, over 2 hours after it was posted.
Meanwhile, Singaporeans have shared with us some of the comments that they had left:
These comments are simply making observations and yet they were also quickly deleted:
One netizen wrote out his genuine thoughts on the "Singaporean" table tennis teams but even these valid and rational concerns were promptly deleted:
While it can be understood that comments containing personal attacks or otherwise highly inflammatory comments are deleted by PM Lee's Facebook admins, what message does it send when even rational concerns are deleted?
How many of these comments and concerns are actually read by PM Lee before they are removed by his admins? Do you want a leader that does not listen to the people and only reads the "right things" that are fed to him by his loyal followers?
This type of comment filtering leads to a very scary situation where the ones in charge of running the country are disconnected with the average citizen and worse still, the top do not even know that there is a disconnect.
