Ser Luck: Nice to have you drop by. Yeap, I really hope it’s a wrong usage of word.

Thank you. You are right that there is probably a better word than ‘fight’. It has always been to engage. One of the comments spoke some truth to the situation today and closest to what it was meant to be. That every site or fb account is really ‘fighting’ for the attention, drawing in the eyeballs to engage. It is indeed a challenging task but cannot be ignored by any political parties.

Dear seng kong, thank you for being sharp enough to know that the GRC system guarantees the PAP’s political control for a long time. That, coupled with an obedient mainstream media and the new NMP scheme is all they need really, they don’t even really need to “fight” on the Internet.

But things might change once the 80 something year old passes. Not because they willingly “liberalise”, but because they don’t know how to effectively use the immense power at their disposal.

It will be a clean sweep by the PAP again in coming election. Dont dream of any fight. You simply cannot crack the GRC system. This has been proven and proven in elections after election. The GRC most innovative, bold and suitable for timid, compliant, kiasu, kiasi and greedy Singaporeans who feel good that their HDB prices are rising. It can only happen in Singapore. You fellows dont waste your time debating about this. Either you be a good boy here or you can quit this country. Sorry it is going to be the first country in world and on record for a perpetual rule for decades to come.

Teo ser luck doesnt know what he is talking about. When his bosses ask him how big is the group that doesnt want to play ball with PAP. His reply is always the same. It is the minority. If you ask him how many people do not agree with his worldview again it is the minority. So this fellow is good at giving out just minority reports.

The real situation is most thinkers and the ppl who are most passionate abt our country and how genuinely want things to improve. The really smart people have already all gone underground.

They are going into private rooms and talking there. They dont even want to blog openly anymore and most prefer to just talk to 40 or so regular forummers. May be small, but when you count how many rooms are out there, Teo ser luck is dead wrong, it is not the minority as it remains very much the unseen majority.

You dee kay are the minority.

Go underground.

I think this is a interesting take on why the fight and constructive engagement was not used by TSL. Its messy but if you take the time to scroll down some 4 to 5 articles, they are very disturbing and may explain many things

He probably meant ‘fight’ to engage netizens. And it’s an uphill fight. After all, the net has been flooded with more anti-gahmen or gahmen-hostile sites than probably… ants.

I think the mindset has always been to “control”. It is Singapore! I’ve talked to folks who are in civil service and they commented that their bosses are afraid of engaging in new media because it’s something they can’t control and can’t justify their “ROI”. I thought those comments are amusing.

btw…just saw this news http://networkedblogs.com/p23778722 .
