Anti-foreigner sentiments stirred up again on social media

This evening I attended the By-Elections (BE) rally held by People's Action Party (PAP) at Hougang Stadium. During the speech, I looked into my Facebook on my mobile and caught "Temasek Review" posting a picture on their wall. Guess? See below.

Their picture caption as follows: "..... New Weapon of PAP Pinoys" The next image shows the anti-foreigner sentiments by their readers. You can see all the xenophobes appearing on the comments after they saw it and their emotions gets stirred up. It even has 47 'shares' & 58 comments counting...

Don't you find that disgusting? What wrong has the Pinoys done? The Temasek Review even rebutted one of their reader Jude Tan (shown above in Red Arrow) saying "Why are foreigners allowed to mettle in Singapore's domestic politics?"

The PAP's rally at Hougang Stadium is an open public place where people from all walks of life are able to come down to attend the event. Foreigners are welcome to attend the public rallies by the People's Action Party (PAP) and Worker's Party (WP) to catch their 'Live' action on the spot to learn more of Singapore politics. To foreigners who are either working or visiting in Singapore, it is a rare chance for them to catch the 'Live' election rallies held in Singapore. The General Elections (GE) is held every five years and the Presidential Elections (PE) is held every six years while the By-Elections (BE) is held only when a Member of Parliament leaves his/ her post vacant & the Prime Minister decides when and whether to call for a BE. 

The day before the PAP's rally, I was also present at Worker's Party (WP) rally at Hougang Central, an open field just next to Block 837, Hougang Central. Beside me is a local female Singaporean with her foreign Caucasian male friend. Overheard the lady explaining to her foreign friend on what the opposition party is dishing out on their speech to public about Singapore politics. Her foreign friend showed a keen interest & was heard asking her questions throughout. He was also very impressed with the huge crowd turnout at the rally.

I walked to the other side for my ciggie break & was standing beside some Chinese & Indian nationals there listening to the rally. Overheard one of the PRC guy mentioned to his friend that WP's Chen Show Mao is a Taiwanese by birth. It goes to show that foreigners knows about our Singapore Opposition members.

So what is the big deal about it, Temasek Review?

And now the HELL BREAKS LOOSE...

The original culprit Temasek Review who started the problem yesterday and found it too much to handle from angry Singaporeans eventually decided to shift the blame to Worker's Party supporters instead.

"The rampant attacks on Filipinos by WP supporters who accused them of being ‘used’ as a political tool by the PAP to shore up its flagging support peeved off Ms Eulenia." - The Temasek Review
