The fucker cannot take the slightest dose of criticism with a heavy dose of truth whereas they churn out half truths and put up wayang performance, all for the masses to digest.
The whole idea is to keep the Sinkie in line and to ensure they are in power.
What the on-line truth sayers are doing according to them, is liable to 'break the spell' they have on the Sinkie
Moreover, the fucker is linking his poorer and poorer performance at the polls on those who told the truths on-line about them, however small in numbers they might be.
Does that answer your silly question?
I'm afraid you missed my point. Since Cpt (NS) Brandon said this MDA move is no big deal, a drop in ocean, no one will bother or care about it etc, I asked hm then why did they (MDA) even need to come up with this new restriction?
The fact is the PAP knows how powerful and far reaching the internet is, both in news dissemination and social media. Large crowds attended the protest rallies even though there was no prior mentioned of them in the MSM. Pictures of opposition rallies showing large crowds during the GEs were uploaded on FB, online news sites. Unfavourable articles of the PAP (both historical and current) are hosted on numerous websites. The internet is the new news frontier, and it bows to no one. As more and more people get wired, more and more will peruse news reports, articles, forums, etc. This reality must really bother the PAP.
First, they whacked bloggers, now news websites. What next? Forums like this one?
