[h=1]CALVIN CHENG PAYS FACEBOOK TO SPREAD BASELESS LIES ATTACKING ALTERNATIVE WEBSITES[/h]
Post date:

Former NMP Calvin Cheng, who openly professes his love for the ruling PAP and was a Youth PAP member just before he quit in order to become a "non-partisan" NMP, has stooped to new lows by paying facebook to spread his logic-less accusations agianst alternative websites.
In a facebook post which was sponsored, Calvin wrote about the recent case where a 18 year old teen was caught beating up smaller, shorter foreign workers just to "practice his fighting skills".
No doubt the attack was a completely unprovoked and rather hate-filled crime and the teen is now facing charges for his acts.
A sponsored Facebook post is one where the page owner has paid Facebook money in order to promote the post and make it appear in more people's Facebook news feeds, even those who you are not friends with.
Calvin Cheng has jumped on this opportunity to draw a flawed link between this one individual's crime and he has said that it was caused by alternative websites such as The Real Singapore, Wake Up, Singapore, and Redwire Times.
"The hate they spread against foreigners will inevitably affect the feeble minded who then act it out in real life." he said.
He even went further to say that the ISA should be used to detain those behind such websites and pages because "they represent a threat to domestic security and stability."
There are some people who support him:
But there were also many to point out how flawed and stupid his logic was:
At least one person also went back to the original ST article and pointed out that it was already stated that the teen had had personal, bad experiences with foreign workers before so that's why he targetted them:
It is strange that Calvin Cheng was able to come to the conclusion that the teen's actions were caused by the presence of alternative websites.
What do you think?
