Reform Party supporter plays the race card against WP

[Thick Face Black Heart]

In the most astonishing twist yet to the post-by-election frenzy, a Straits Times Forum writer going by the name of Paul Antony Fernandez has penned a letter saying he has not met any non-Chinese personnel in the Workers’ Party when they were campaigning in Punggol East SMC.
This is his letter:

Now, let us take a minute and examine Paul Antony Fernandez’s claim:

Ok, I think Paul Antony Fernandez is right.
There is no doubt that the man to the left of Lee Li Lian is a Chinese man called Pritam Singh.
Let us have a closer look at this burly-looking Chinese man with a lot of facial hair:

Ok, Paul Antony Fernandez is absolutely correct.
This is a Chinese man.
And good job ST, you published a very excellently well-crafted and thoughtful letter. Again.
Update: It turns out, after some snooping, Paul Antony Fernandez is a 47-year-old Reform Party supporter.

Thats some good detective work!

When I read that article in the ST, I was surprised it was even published. Its utter rubbish!

And Mohd Faisal is no Malay?

The ST knows only too well that there s no truth to the letter-writer's assertions as it had a dozen or so reporters in PE during the entire BE campaign. They followed the WP teams around. All WP MPs, including Pritam and Faisal, worked hard going house-to-house to help LLL in her victory. It is extremely disturbing that ST knowingly published a concocted story. I think that this could be a prelude of worst to come from the MSM.

I actually think the WP and Singaporeans have a police case against SPH and this man.

Not only does the letter lie blatantly, but the tone of it also seeks to stir up racial tensions. If SPH is going to allow this kind of shit to appear, and not go unpunished, it speaks volumes about themselves.

sounds soooo like ptrader who always says the same thing again and again

It's called tokenism. It's a worldwide practice. A woman on the corporate board, a black police captain in a redneck state etc. It does not disprove that the WP discriminates.

Methinks WP will not go to that extent even if their law-trained MPs thought they would have had a case. However, you will expect PAP to jump and sue if this article is directed at them...

Update no. 2: This is how Paul Antony Fernandez looks like:

Is Paul Antony the guy that always use the yellow umbrella to shelter KJ?

I won't speculate whether PAF = PTADER but I have to admit the thought has crossed my mind.

Jeya and his members fought WP even more ferociously in the BE. All of that is forgotten and forgiven?
Only a hardcore anti-PAP element would say so.

I don't know where you are going to draw the line because every organization in the world will be practising tokenism if your case is true.

Indeed. Leongsam is a token in kiwiland? hahaha

Many organisations don't bother. Only those who try to be politically correct go down that route.

Could this guy be PTader?

 

[glockman]

First they conducted and published the poll, and now this. Tsk tsk, shameless!

 

[glockman]

When I read it in the ST this morning, the thought occurred to me too. Such a coincidence that this racist bullshit is being brought up concurrently.

Not only a token. Occasionally a pedestal.
