Politics from Internet won't work well on those 老不死 uncles who kept on supporting PAP bastards ALL THE WAY and still get themselves screwed by PRC whores. That type of disgusting people are most likely to surf porn and chit-chating with both PRC whores and fellow 老不死 ones...

A ONE-STOP online portal called I Not Old, chockful of information and games, is now available for the elderly.
It lists more than 250 upcoming activites ranging from yoga to karaoke, offers health tips and games like Tetris and Mix & Match.
The portal, at inotold.com, also features articles on active older people and videos by celebrities in Mandarin, Malay and Tamil, promoting a physically, mentally and socially active lifestyle.
To cater to less-than-sharp eyesight, information in the portal is presented in a large font.
A Chinese-text version is also available; Malay and Tamil text will go live next year.
The portal, the work of the Southwest Community Development Council (CDC), was launched on Thursday by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Mr Lim Boon Heng, who is also the minister overseeing matters related to ageing.
Singling out the online games as possibly the biggest attraction in the portal, he said: 'Research has shown that some online gaming can be beneficial to the elderly in keeping their minds active.'
At the launch of the portal at Jurong Point Shopping Centre 1, a Mix & Match competition pitted 40 participants against each other.
Senior citizens without computers at home can use the ones at community centres or Residents' Committee centres.
Those who want to use the portal need to register their particulars. This information goes into a database for organisations that want to reach out to these elderly.
The database now has more than 3,200 names in it, including those shared by grassroots and voluntary welfare organisations.
Dr Amy Khor, the mayor of the South West District, said it would enable assistance to be given to the elderly more evenly.
Some old folk may have three agencies visiting them, while others are not getting sufficient help, she said.
