		<description>13) Lai CF on January 2nd, 2010 11.44 am

&lt;blockquote&gt;If Tan Kin Lian and Leong Sze Hain decided to participate in GE2011, what then is TOC? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

According to TOC&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://theonlinecitizen.com/about/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;About Us&quot; Section&lt;/a&gt;,  TOC is a blog site which endeavours to reflect the views and opinions of ordinary Singaporeans. It is a platform which welcomes contributions from the man in the street, the average citizen who is concerned about issues facing our country. TOC endeavours to be a Community of Singaporeans – concerned citizens who care enough to express their views. Tan Kin Lian and Leong Sze Hian are concerned citizens regardless whether they participate in the coming General Election. Participating in the General Election does not change anything about TOC.</description>

		<description>8) Lee See Yung on January 1st, 2010 12.42 pm :

Hiya Lee See Yung,

Perhaps you&#039;d like to contribute an opinion piece of your own detailing the instances where TOC has &quot;opposed for the sake of opposing&quot; .. or have published articles &quot;without clear objectivity and relevance&quot;?

Personally I consider TOC to be one of the more balanced in their investigation and subsequent analysis of affairs in Singapore.</description>

I believe that there are also PRs and foreign talents who are also on this site. 

I&#039;m sure there are many people who do not agree with PAP policies, but have kept quiet because they have no choice. A lot of people suffer in silence. 

A lot of PAP policies are also not very clear and does not represent the needs of Singaporeans. 

I believe that the SDP are not traitors but are concerned citizens whose views should also be respected. In fact the PAP are the ones trying to run them down, including any foreign influence that they perceive to be tarnishing to their image.</description>

		<description>&quot;TOC should stop using the tagline “A Community Of Singaporeans” as it is highly misleading…&quot;

Could you please define the quantitative test (or the abstractly qualitative test if you are able to find one) for the use of the word &#039;Community&#039; to be justified.</description>

		<description>TOC should stop using the tagline &quot;A Community Of Singaporeans&quot; as it is highly misleading...

At best, TOC can only represent the vocal minority who like to oppose for the sake of opposing everything and anything, sometimes without clear objectivity and relevance. It is hence, not a representation of the silent majority!

It is also only qualified to claim itself as the site for &quot;A Community of Singapore Homosexuals&quot; for it disgusting support of homosexual activities in Singapore.

Last but not least, it can also call itself &quot;A Community of Singapore Traitors&quot; for its support of SDP&#039;s continue use of foreign influences and pressure groups to run down Singapore at every given opportunity!</description>

		<description>Luckily, there is TOC. The MSM report on 2009 events is different from this TOC article. So, my point is Alternative media is necessary as it supplements if complements the MSM.

We need to know everything.</description>

		<description>did the MSM mentioned about 2009 being the year where bloggers succeeded in waking up many apathetic citizens? To be fair, i feel that, the majority apathetics , who to me are pathetic,  still have not woken up. I wonder are newbies apathetic as well?

keep up the good work TOC and TR!</description>

Correction.  It was SDP that reported first the CCTV installation!

		<description>I only now realise that TOC had ran article about the Marxist Conspiracy in May 2009. It seems this is an episode that the gahmen would rather not remember. 

What I heard - from one of the &quot;Marxists&quot; - is that when the Internal Security Department celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2008, it held an exhibition showcasing all its works and achievements and there was not a single mention of the Marxist Conspiracy saga.</description>
