More PAP MPs on Facebook to reach out to young Singaporeans
February 20, 2010
According to a Straits Times report today, the PAP MPs are jumping onto the Facebook bandwagon to reach out to young Singaporeans.
41 of the 81 PAP MPs are on Facebook and they include Deputy Prime Ministers Wong Kan Seng and Teo Chee Hean, and Ministers George Yeo, Yaacob Ibrahim, Vivian Balakrishnan and Lim Hwee Hua.
Embarrassed by the utter failure of YPAP to engage the online community, the state media has been tasked again to salvage the battered image of the PAP MPs in the eyes of young Singaporeans.
The YPAP was embroiled in a controversy of late when its member Eric How made a police report over a non-existent impersonation on Facebook under the “advice” of its Chairman Teo Ser Luck which exposed his complete ignorance of the New Media.
Though the PAP has set up an internet subcommittee way back in 2006 to win the hearts and minds of young Singaporeans, it has few results to show, if any.
The P65 blog run by PAP MPs floundered due to lack of readership and is now handed over to be managed entirely by YPAP members with the same dismal results.
Its Facebook has less members than a Facebook set up to vote out the YPAP only two months ago. None of its party websites have a readership large enough to establish a presence in cyberspace.
Netizens should not be fooled by the latest lame attempt by the PAP to win their votes ahead of the next general election.
As Foreign Minister George Yeo has demonstrated aptly, their Facebooks are nothing more but “wayang” to promote themselves and they will never dare to engage in serious discussion and debate on current affairs and national policies.
SDP Secretary-General Dr Chee Soon Juan had invited George Yeo for a debate several times on his Facebook and was turned away. A young lady seeking help for a molest case was told by him curtly to see her MP instead.
No matter how they tried, nothing will ever change so long the PAP retains its two-thirds majority in Parliament and continues to rule the country with an iron fist.
The best way to “engage” the PAP is to vote them out in the next election and only then will they bother to listen to the genuine concerns and worries of Singaporeans.

Dun be lazy and do your regular meet the people session.
Dun use facebook as an excuse to hide away from direct interaction.
If you are all so lazy, then forget about being a MP.
Go back to your regular job.
Stop trying to be fancy and start solving real problem like the huge influx of FTs.
You are not employed to be hip.
Get your focus right.

In that case they are not fit to get millions dollar salaries. YOu stop talking shit here.Their job is to serve the public. If they don't like meeting the public face to face then they are in the wrong job.

Why facebook?
PAP should create another forum for all sporen to post their comments.
The forum is meant for all sporean and non sporean to post what they like and pap can tap on the information over there.
Hmmmm...seem like pap do feel that internet can really reach out far and wide for the youngsters.

This forum so many subs.They should have one eg) www.govtpap.com (something like that to let pple voice out).

Internet is a good tool to "reach out" to the rebel and instil fear by punishing a few of them by asking them to lim kopi.
Why would they want to reach out ?
If the original idea failed, it meant that no one want to be "hip" with them except for those who want to gain some advantage.
They are still living in their irony tower.
