With friends like that who needs enemies. I have read what GMS has written on his Facebook and it is nothing like what TISG interpreted. Shame on Kumaran and gang. I am sure Leon Perera is glad that he is cutting ties with this lot. I am sure they would not dare write an article even if a PAP grassroots expressed the same sentiments.
And it turned out to be a double whammy for GMS when his own party Chairman claims that Orlando is fake and a conspiracy theory. Lets be brutally frank - any political party will never appoint a Malay to hold such a post. The community pressure is so intense that objectivity goes thru the window in order to show that they are strong and aggressive and grasp at anything to make that point.
GMS also needs to shorten his articles as he creates confusion and easily leads to misinterpretation. I am sure Kumaran and gang knew that and went for it for the mileage.
GMS has been in it long enough and experienced enough to pick and choose carefully his topics to be relevant. Orlando does not register on Singapore's radar and neither is gun control issues of the US. There are issues such as media control by the Govt, unclear rules in regard to Cooling off Days, $2 and 24 hr prior appointment to check candidates expenses even though these can be easily published on ELD website.

By The Independent - June 15, 2016 14 2808
Referring to a blog post which opposes gun control, secretary-general of a minor opposition party, Mr Goh Meng Seng, said that the Orlando shooting should not be looked at as an attack on the LGBT community, but “as stupid people doing stupid things which kills lots of people.”
Mr Goh of People’s Power Party said that he was not against the LGBT community and had even knowingly supported gay candidates in an election. But he chastised the LGBT community in Singapore for making an issue of the attack in a gay club just because the victims were mostly of the LGBT community.
In referring to the hundreds of people who gathered at Hong Lim Park in an act of solidarity with the victims of Orlando, Mr Goh asked where the LGBT community and its sympathisers were when incidents like the Tiananmen Square massacre and other tragedies which occurred after that happened.
In his post, Mr Goh cast further doubts on the attacks at the Pulse nightclub in Florida and said that the attack was something unimaginable to him.
Mr Goh’s fellow-party member and Chairman, Mr Syafarin Sarif had earlier suggested that the Orlando shooting was staged and is fake.
