PAP IBs and supporters, get this into your thick skull and let's be clear about this.

There is no such thing as an opposition internet brigade (IB).


If there is, it would have been reported.
There are only opposition supporters.

PAP IBs and supporters, you are just talking cock if you can't show us even a shred of report or link that any opposition party has an internet brigade (IB).

Whereas there are tons of articles written on PAP IB.

Here are just some of it:

PAP IBs are busy helping to cover their master's ass and spread their master's lies.

Time to bump this thread up to get the message into their thick skull :biggrin:

Valid point is that there is no such thing as an Opposition IB.

But PAP IB are documented (see post #1).

Excerpt from Has the PAP Internet Brigade lost its teeth?

"According to MP Baey Yam Keng, who was supposed to co-head one of the two subcommittees of the PAP’s “new media” committee, “It was necessary for the PAP to have a voice in cyberspace as there were few in the online community who were pro-establishment.”
Rear-Admiral (NS) Lui Tuck Yew (Minister of State for Education) at a PAP party conference in Dec 2006 “called on younger activists to put up views to moderate the vitriol and balance the skewed comments on the Internet.”​

"This so-called “PAP Internet Brigade” was also accused of creating multiple monikers in various internet forums such as the once-popular Sammyboy Alfresco Coffeeshop forum and disrupting threads critical of the PAP by engaging in flame wars, personal attacks, defamatory statements, and impersonations."​

Another article, THE ETHICS OF THE PAP INTERNET BRIGADE, describes the characteristics of PAP IB and raise the question of who is paying
"Different identities notwithstanding, the PAP IB members share the same beliefs:
1. Blind allegiance to the PAP;
2. Belief in the PAP's hegemony; and
3. Desire to see opposition and democratic politics snuffed out.

For its lack of intelligence and inability to argue on the more substantive level involving policies and politics and its preoccupation with ridiculing and destroying the opposition and PAP's critics, the PAP IB is more a bane than boon to Singapore's democratic iwell-being and growth."

Unless somebody shows us evidence of an Opposition IB, otherwise he is talking cock. Period.

IBs are paid shills - it's their job, they receive a paycheck for their effort. They are paid to spread disinformation.

The keyword is PAID.

Some tech companies hire paid shills to bash their competitors's products. A most recent example is that of certain rival companies mocking Apple iPhone 6 Plus for 'bending'.

Wikipedia
A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

What is IB and what is thiers role???
And what the fuck they do???

IB = Internet Brigade

The PAP IB was formed in 2007 to counter the growing chorus of anti-govt dissent on the Internet, discredit opposition parties and supporters, spread disinformation about opposition politicians and party policies, and manipulate popular opinion.

The PAP IB comes under the direct purview of the ISD, and consists of paid shills working in shifts whose modus operandi is to participate in forums like Sammyboy to spew their shit. Some focus on 'astroturfing'. They're very easy to detect, once you know how they function and their operating hours. Laksaboy has a good working list.

From the Straits Times article (3 Feb 2007) “PAP moves to counter criticism of party, Govt in cyberspace”:

... The People’s Action Party (PAP) is mounting a quiet counter-insurgency against its online critics … (by having its) members going into Internet forums and blogs to rebut anti-establishment views and putting up postings anonymously.


... According to MP Baey Yam Keng, who was supposed to co-head one of the two subcommittees of the PAP’s “new media” committee, “It was necessary for the PAP to have a voice in cyberspace as there were few in the online community who were pro-establishment.

... Rear-Admiral (NS) Lui Tuck Yew (Minister of State for Education) at a PAP party conference in Dec 2006 “called on younger activists to put up views to moderate the vitriol and balance the skewed comments on the Internet.

Yes. I have always suspected Jason Chua to be paid. Voluntary PAP cyberwarriors are few, for the simple reason that PAP is in power and there is no motivation to spur them to the intensity of opposition online supporters who want to see the PAP kicked out.

For Jason Chua, the amount of work he does alone is equivalent to the efforts of the entire TOC and TRE teams add together. It has to be full-time and nothing less. This guy when interviewed lives in a 3-room flat, 44 and jobless but doesn't aspire to do more or at least get a job. He has to be comfortable enough financially to do that or who will feed him.

u know its funny the newspaper report says that PAP admits that "its necessary for the PAP to have a voice in cyberspace as few in the online community are pro-establishment"

does that mean PAP is aware of the overwhelming hate against them and its no longer a matter of trying to win the support of the population thru policymaking but rather information warfare thru propaganda and brainwashing?

also another interesting fact that younger and better educated singaporeans look towards the internet when shaping their opinion towards the political parties.....however those that frequent "sammyboy" forum tend not to be interested in matters of "intellectual debate",does that mean sammyboy are the retards of the internet?u guys better repent and start looking towards the views of the mainstream media.
