TPL on internet trolls

[CAShop]

As politicians, all of us have encountered our fair share of online vitriol; some perhaps more than a fair share. It is not pleasant to be on the receiving end of such online attacks, but many of us have cultivated a certain equanimity and learnt to focus on the important issues for Singapore. I went through a "baptism of fire" in 2011 and I can fully empathize with how my political colleagues and peers from other political parties feel.
But online vitriol does not help our political development. Politics should be a contest of ideas, about how Singapore can tackle its challenges and improve the lives of its citizens. It should also be about who can best run a constituency and come up with the best programmes to serve residents. I may not agree with my political "competitors" on many issues, but I believe in their right to stand in front of voters, and put forth their views and positions too.
Online attacks that use lies and innuendos to insinuate that a potential candidate is not fit to serve, or that use vulgar language and threats to push a potential candidate to withdraw, do not serve our democracy.
It is important that Singaporeans are able to express their thoughts on issues freely. However, we can do this without personal attacks and harassment, resorting to lies or threats, hiding behind anonymity and false identities. We should be fair to others if we want our views to be heard too. Freedom of expression must be coupled with respect. I hope we can all work towards building a free yet responsible online space where constructive debates can take place.

The voice of the online community represents the perspective of a good portion of our citizens nonetheless. Here behind the veil of anonymity people are more likely and willing to speak their mind. Doesn't matter how vulgar it is, if we dont like someone we will say it and like it or not, this will most likely translate to an oppo vote. At the end of the day, she can ignore all she wan but if she don't get enough votes, its game over.
