Only your Singapore PM can save our Malaysia’s Barisan Najis,I hope Singaporeans can advise their ministers to temporarily stop coming to Malaysia so that we Malaysia.They are welcome after we Malaysians vote in a new federal Government.

I’ve seen the REAL world out there.

I’ve seen hunger, starvation, looting, arson, etc., when hell breaks loose.

Coming to 50 good years for this little red dot – all thanks to the honest (though expensive), dedicated & able leaders.

Writers who are advocating for a change for the worse are NOT stakeholders.

Beware of rattle snakes that sow seeds of discontent & hope to destabalise the island.

Think you go ONLY IN ONE Direction IS because you been down that ramp so long and beeen enjoying and relishing too perhaps the increasing speeds. BUT what direction are you going for your children and all your other downlines? GO READ HISTORY man. You’ll be a fair bit wiser for that. Go read my other one in why lky may have gone north. You depend too much on luck standing out FOR you. Luck runs and many other “goodies” have the ugly habit of runniing out of steam YOU KNOW?

For Singaporeans, he is doing for our country which is always under constant attack from the Utusan and the like !

Hi Robox:

Yes, my comments were indeed partially inspired by yours.

Just look at what PAP is doing. Every NATIONAL Day Parade, we get to see their smiling faces and waving hands on TV. Even in popular media like magazines and entertainment shows, we occasionally get interviews with the young and dashing Baey. Whenever there are any social incidents, we will get quotes from various PAP MPs. Clearly the opposition has a lot to catch up in terms of building brand awareness and image.

I believe the opposition should be the ones engaging the new media instead of the other way round, as I do not wish to see the new media being the exclusive mouthpiece of the opposition.

If the new media wishes to become a viable alternative to the mainstream media, it has to be more objective and more encompassing. We want everybody to read the new media, not just supporters of the opposition.

My idea is that sites like wayang should still focus on doing their commentaries and scoops. However, opposition party members can submit their own articles and responses. At the beginning of their articles, a few lines of their background can be given, and their photos shown. If they contribute frequently enough, and if they write well enough, they will soon be able to build their brand. This can also serve as a platform for promising new members of the opposition to carve out their names from scratch.

To remain all-encompassing, the sites should also solicit articles and responses from PAP members, and members from the academia. Readers should be allowed to judge for themselves who make the most sense.

On another point, I feel that the opposition should do more to help people in need. For example recently, there was a petition at Hong Lim on why the disabled are paying full fares for transport. I have no idea why the opposition weren’t the ones organizing it. (If it is illegal for political parties to do it, then perhaps the big names should do it in their personal capacities.)

Such charitable acts will go a long way in building goodwill, both with the disadvantaged groups and with society at large. The new media’s job would then be to publicize the events and the opposition’s role in them.

These are my humble 2 cents on what I feel can be done.

Yes we salute you MM.
