if LTK was to manage his facebook himself, that would be a serious problem. Only MPs with nothing to do will manage it themselves. Then again, whoever that manage the facebook for them, has to seek his approval or agreement for what is being replied and what is being post in their facebook, yah?

Imagine if the person scold LKY in LTK facebook, what will happened. Therefore by arguing LTK did not manage the facebook mean nothing and very lame.

Perhaps better for PM Lee to work on .mee rebus mai hum ? meepok mai hum ?

i am sure many readers have been Confused and Distracted by the ‘change of heart’.

I actually salute guys like George Yeo who interacts online and faces people who, thanks to the use of pseudonym decide they can be REALLY HONEST with him in the crudest of terms. It speaks well of the Minister that he’s willing to go down on the ground to be able to talk to people at their level.

For the record, Minister Yeo is the not the only person who has gets “New Media.” For the record, I have Vivan Balakrishnan and Dr Lim Wee Kiak (Sembawang GRC) as friends on Facebook. Facebook is an easy channel to talk to otherwise unaccessible people.

So, if we have at least two ministers who “Get” new media, why is there a constant gripe in the MSM and beyond about why it’s not credible? Perhaps Acting MICA Minister Lui Tuck Yew should take a leaf from George Yeo and start a blog.

///// Mr Low Thia Khiang and Ms Sylvia Lim are on facebook. In fact, if I’m not wrong, they were there earlier than Minister George Yeo and P65.

Alamak !
It just baffles me why TOC writers repeatedly make such errors?
And I get moderated for voicing about it.
Since “MSM’ don’t do accurate reporting, all the more, TOC should rise above that and show that the new media can better then them.

This is the full context that you might do well to quote the next time.

“Indeed, Minister Yeo has said that he hopes for his Facebook page to be “fun” and not for spelling out policy positions. Still, on the thorny issue of Burma, for example, Minister Yeo was sympathetic to what his detractors said on his page, but at the same time stood his ground on S’pore’s and Asean’s policy.

I feel that any politician who is afraid of the Internet and social networking sites like Facebook can take a leaf from Minister Yeo’s example. You can engage your audience and still stand your ground – and be respected for that, even if one is not convinced of his explanations or reasons for doing so.”

As you can see, Andrew Loh was only singing George Yeo’s praises for engaging Singaporeans online. If you must criticise something, you should criticise the way he gives canned responses to people when on facebook, not the fact that he is on facebook and willing to engage Singaporeans online.

As for whether TOC took a partisan stance, I think your conclusion is rather far fetched. Just because George Yeo is to blame for Singapore’s aiding and abetting of the Burmese junta, deosn’t mean the TOC has to point this out at every turn, especially when that would detract from the main point of the article.

Further, TOC’s statement, “Minister Yeo was sympathetic to what his detractors said on his page, but at the same time stood his ground on S’pore’s and Asean’s policy,” was simply reporting what they observed from his online activities. They have made no judgment whatsoever and you cannot possibly imply that they are not non-partisan for that.

I really like the comments about throwing shoes at them in the facebook.

Hopefully, there is such a game.

So Funny. I got to tell my taiwan friends about it.
The situation is so funny i afraid i may go mad if i cannot find the reason why the situation is so funny.

sigh….

i continue to play the waiting game. The only joy to expect. That does not require human intervention. That is a sure thing to happen. That no money nor power can stop it from happening. And maybe enough a bonus holiday.

And here we have the TOC playing “non-partisan” and even singing Geroge Yeo’s praises as in the para:

TOC has limited resources in exercising its coverage. You ought to be releastic in your expectations.
