Tay Ping Hui in war of words with owner of fake SMRT Twitter account

[RonRon]

Have you encountered a "troll" online? Actor Tay Ping Hui found himself engaging in a war of words with one recently.

The incident began with an innocent tweet that the actor sent out on Dec 17 over microblog Twitter.

He called for people to request for SMRT to set a free travel day for all commuters instead of paying a fine. He also asked people to "take this viral". This was over the train disruptions on Dec 15 and Dec 17.

Much later, on Jan 2, another Twitter user with the handle SMRT Ltd (Feedback), decided to reply to Tay's message. calling him a "cheapskate".

Things would have been alright if Tay had not taken up the bait laid by the "troll".

After all, the Twitter account isn't official. It's a game of masquerade, where users who do not know better get sucked into it when they mistake it as the official account and start complaining to it.

By the way, the official Twitter account operated by SMRT goes by the handle: SMRT_Singapore.

Unfortunately Tay took the bait.

"Trolling" is a term that was coined in the 1980s by Internet users to describe people who intentionally disrupt online communities, according to a New York Times report. It's a game for these people to provoke strangers, the report said.

Tay seemed to have an idea that the account wasn't official. He replied via Twitter: "1st of all, I seriously doubt ur authenticity. 2ndly ur attempt on humour is at best...Pathetic."

Tay added: "BTW, you DO realize you just called the ENTIRE SMRT commuters cheapskate right? U so poor thing leh".

The owner behind SMRT Ltd (Feedback) shot back: "Dear Hui Ping, pathetic is when you try to make "Free Transport Day" viral. What we do know is you don't take the train."

Tay then replied, still via Twitter: "I shld just let you embarass urself, but I feel obliged to open ur tiny mind. One does not need to be in war to know its atrocities."

Tay ping hui got wacked in the neck by a visitor here for playing dirty during NUS basketball trial. Laid flat in the court for 10 minutes.

The positive effects of having oppositions.

TPH trying to do a Chow Yun Fatt with that goatee?
He got the type of face you either love or hate. At least alot more better than those 100% fuckfaces like Terrance chao chee bye, vomit singh, mark lee and the likes...

Tay Ping Hui cannot make it as a singer. Recently, for the countdown, he mangled Adele's Rolling In The Deep song.

He sure mangled Adele, Rolling in the deep!, a song I liked, Adele should roll him in the deep!!

 

[saratogas]

Be careful what you wish for on National TV... I really think he is joining Politics soon.

 

[red amoeba]

he is trying to 'show off' in front of his PAP masters?

At least Terence Cao could act well, and Mark Lee inherited some of Jack Neo's slapstick comedy genius.

Tay Ping Hui can't really act: he's the male version of Jeanette Aw.

Gurmit, makes me wanna vomit. Ugh! Are there no better English-speaking show hosts?

Considering that Tay is on the threshold of PAP political stardom, he is merely working the ground to raise civic consciousness. It doesn't do him any harm at all as it also raises his profile. Methinks his acting sucks and he is as wooden as Woody Goh; if not more so. But good luck to him for his MP's aspirations. The discerning public is waiting!

He's quite pissed that his supposedly berth was given to Tin Pei Ling.

Let's just wait for Ramseth to come in and claim credit for this

It has nothing to do with me. I don't play basketball. Frankly, I don't have the height for the game in which height is imperative, unlike football in which different heights have different roles and advantages. Tay Ping Hui was a Commando Cpt. Whoever the guy who took him down, must be some real fighter I'd like to shake hands with.

 

[Unrepented]

Most probably just an average basketball joe that took him down. If that's the case, will you spit on THE "commando captain"?

Since he's my cousin's friend, I won't spit on him of course. I'd help him up and end the fight. But I'd still like to shake hands with the guy who grounded him.

If he is not your cousin's friend, would you spit on him?
