Beware TOC (The Online Cons)

when a group of at best average writers band together in singapore
blogosphere and style themselves as "non-partisan" online reporters/
commentators, it sends an orgasmic thrill into the dissent starved
psyches of the average singaporeans. the fact that they write in a
tone and style not dissimilar to gahmen-speak matters not, because
they are "rebels", they are "independent" and ugh, "non-partisan".

the online citizen, non partisan? talk *** lah. they are the results
of a years work of quiet counter insurgency. andrew loh, remy choo,
ephraim loy, gerald giam have all at one time or another been or still
is very partisan. what are the common partisan links? gahmen, pap and
wp lor. and the funny thing is that some of them switch between wp and
pap youth organisations like changing underwear and later decry their
innocence, that they are not linked anymore and the usual blah blah
blah. such a glowing testament of their loyalty to the "non partisan"
cause.

lets see:
andrew loh - pap turned wp
remy choo - pap youth executive committee, grassroots leader
emphraim loy - young pap
gerald giam - ex mfa and mda.
there we have it, editors mired with the establishment.

TOC? the online cons, selling token critiques of gahmen and policy,
but sneaking in subliminal weasel messages of how great experience it
is working in yec. and the biggest con among this nest of weasels?
certainly the award goes to the great non-partisan remy choo, who
ironically took over from andrew once his wp links were exposed to the
entire internet.

so the great saviour, REMY CHOO comes in to restore toc's credibility
but actually, he is the greatest con. guess what? this toc chief is
paid by a pap mp out in the west of singapore to write. PAID BY PAP TO
WRITE. and paid quite well so its said. with all the pay increases in
gahmen, he probably got a pay rise too. wonder how much of this moola
is spread among the other online cons. or maybe remy swallows this
whole. well the only definite thing is, you'll see more written on
this constituency and of course, it'll be glowing. toc is after all a
great non-partisan bandwagon of truthful writing reflecting to the
relentlessly downtrodden of singapore.

The Online Cons. time for some spring cleaning. why not just let
ephraim run it. get it out in the open. forget about this non-partisan
hogwash already and sneaking around with your hidden agendas against
the true opposition.
