PAP 'to manage political expression on internet' shocker!

More in Yawning Bread

"I know that something has gone wrong when more than 85 per cent (of the traffic) writes negatively about the PAP," she said at a post-mortem of the GE organised last night by the National University of Singapore Society.

"This is something that the PAP would do well to take into account ... and to manage this channel of communication,"

.....

One member of the audience pointed out that if the Internet was skewed in one direction then, surely, the local media had gone in the other direction, giving far more coverage to the ruling party.

Perhaps, rebutted Ms Phua, this was on account of the fact that the PAP had fielded far more candidates in the GE than the Opposition ­ and the coverage was a reflection of that.

I just wonder how in fact that the PAP can have disproportionately higher coverage 'because it has fielded far mor candidates' when the whole contest was 37 PAP vs 37 opposition? Oh well, you wanna manage the internet? Let's see how are you gonna do it. If the communist party in China can't even fully control it, what makes you think you have half the chance.
