Mr Martino Tan is the Deputy Managing Director and Managing Editor at Mothership.sg, an online news platform. He previously worked in the Prime Minister’s Office, and also served as Head, New Media, Media Relations at the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts.

In 2012, Mr Martino Tan was comfortably settled in his job as Senior Manager of online communications at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), managing Facebook posts for Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, when finance executive Mr Lien We King came knocking on his door, proposing a digital-only platform for young Singaporeans. Mr Lien had met with another young man before that: Mr Belmont Lay, the founder of satirical site New Nation. “Bear in mind that it was a year after the watershed 2011 general election,” he explained. “I felt that Singaporeans were still trying to make sense of it all, the political and social awakening.”

This was he and his crew when Mothershit was launched in 2014. The Shitty Times wrote a fluff piece about it.

Mothershit is pure pro-govt propaganda pretending to be non-mainstream 'alternative news'. Sadly, many younger daft Sinkies are fooled by this. :rolleyes:
