He was quoted as saying he does read online blogs and forums. Should we also invite him here to engage with us (I believe he will at least take a look at the forum if I email him: [email protected])
Now, there are pros and cons of informing him now. This may alert PAP a big way. I'm not sure what they would do. They can either treat this as a good feedback source and listen quietly to what forumers say here (and may be even sign up a nick to engage anonymously too) or treat this as a potential threat which may undermind their votes in the coming election. In this case, they might try to talk to delphi to shut us down... (e.g. posing as an ordinary nick and complained about racism here, or copyright photo violations here etc).
I've already drafted the email to him but am holding back. What do you bros think? This action may affect the whole forum and hence, I didn't want to do it unilaterally without seeking some concensus from the bros here.....

Dear Sir,
The Straits Times interviewed you recently and asked if you read any of the online blogs and forums. You were quoted as saying,
'The Online Citizen, even Wayang Party. I wouldn't say I assiduously read every entry... but I generally flip through to see what people are saying.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you the 3in1kopitiam forum on Delphi site. It is being ranked top 10 on Delphi. This is a splinter group from the old Sammyboy forum. Just for comparison, the Govt's REACH website was reported to be getting something like 250 responses in 2 weeks. The 3in1kopitiam forum gets something like 500-600 postings a day alone!
Please feel free to come to 3in1kopitiam forum and engage us citizens there. I'm sure you would get to hear many blunt and direct comments which you won't get to hear from your grassroot members.
Best regards
