Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will participate in an interactive online chat via the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) Facebook Page this evening from 8 to 9pm, local time.
The aim of the chat, as explained by PM Lee himself, is to discuss various issues related to the general election and to give voters a direct communication channel. He also said that the Young PAP and cyber enthusiasts have encouraged him to set up this live chat to engage with Singaporean netizens.
Thus far the Singapore general election has been marked by an unusual amount of political participation on Facebook. The popular social network is Singapore’s third favorite online source for information about the election (behind Yahoo and Channel NewsAsia), and ostensibly politicians have also recognized it as a valuable soapbox from which to campaign.
We have also reported about Nicole Seah’s popular social media campaign, which is wildly successful despite the fact that she is only 24 years old. She had leapfrogged Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew to become the nation’s most popular politician on Facebook, but was recently overtaken just by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew thanks to a push from local blogger Xiaxue.
Facebook, the best communication tool ever!
Will LSL offer to step down as Prime Minister if PAP doesn’t get a simple majority – 50% vote ? While certain Ministers have been taken to task and held accountable over 10 days, this election is also a referendum on his leadership as well. If he doesn’t have the popular mandate (though the party wins the “gerrymandered” elections), how can his failed leadership justify his appointment as PM when more than half the country is against him?
Dear PM , its nice to see that you have said sorry for mistakes made but when a mistake is made its up to the other party to accept your apologies or not . There are major issues concerning SPOREANS & their lives .
The quota or ratio for any company or department for ft should not be more then 30 to 40 percent of the work force in any company or department in Spore . Companies must employ Sporean full time with cpf contribution workers & not part time workers or ghost workers as many companies have used loop holes in MOM policy
PR , not entitle to buy hdb flats as this is public housing & prs are not citizen of the country , one member of the family must be a citizen to qualify to purchase our public housing . A ealier rule & a fair rule
IMMIGRATION , any ft who wants to take up pr status must be earning more the $10, 000 , Spore need the best for its nation , the cream of the crop
HOUSING , the ovc should be capped at $5000 above valuation only for resale flats as Sporeans are not cash rich & it becomes fair to all .
CHECKS on new citizen foriegn assets as many enjoy double standard
Very well said! I like this! They should do more! I see no sincerity. For sure, I am one that cannot accept the apology, as the mistake is too grave!
he is a good guy
