SINGAPORE: A young grassroots leader has received flak from scores of netizens for calling Singaporeans "third-class" citizens on the People's Action Party (PAP) Facebook page.

The member, Jack Lin, later clarified that he meant "the behaviour of some citizens are still third world".

He told Channel NewsAsia that his intention was to relay the fact that certain people, hiding behind the curtain of anonymity, posting irresponsible comments and insulting others, were having the conduct of '3rd class'.

Mr Lin, who is the general secretary of the Joo Chiat Community Club Youth Executive Committee, had also angered some with his comments on opposition parties.

Young PAP Vice-Chairman Zaqy Mohamed said it could be "damaging" when people associate personal views as representing the party.

So future initiatives would be to educate members on how to engage online.

You can read more on this issue in Wednesday's edition of the TODAY newspaper.

This is providing a field day for the oppo, stupid and over-zealous PAP supporter. In ancient China, he will be beheaded in front of "Wu" gate to appease the peasants.

That is the nature of the Internet, if this Jack Lin Xinli does not know, then he should quit using the Internet as a platform of engagement.

Jack Lin Xili is a very good example of familarity breeds contempt. What has he got to show, that he can contribute that will improve our lives at the present & the lives of the future generation.

This is a new breed of arrogant, pompous...b@$%#@d....which breed contempt...nothing new to contribute.

PAP can do better than this...or have they lost their spurs!!

The young PAP comment is nothing but the truth. You guys should appreciated to have such a direct and truthful leader and it make the future of singapore looks bright.

The problem is that you people does not accept the truth and that is when problem starts.

yes, I have done NS, completed the reservist in-camp-trainings, pay tax, and I am third class. yes, I am 3rd class.

He wants to engage people like us, who not only have completed NS, but reservist cycle, pay taxes..

But had also seen, pre-independence, sang & saluted three flags, Union Jack, Malaysia & SINGapore, seen PAP as an opposition, gone through the turbulent years including May 13, 1969..

This ass, is worst than 3rd world, 3rd class...a no class pariah cannie...wanting to engage people, who have eaten more 'salt' than he had eaten 'rice'..or should we say now! MacDona;d..bet you, when we tried MacD when it was open, he wasn't born yet!

Forgotten to add.....we have used olivetti typewriters, paper journals to today modern gadgets like iphone, ipad....they should keep this kind of cannie in the pound...

 

[manokie]

yes, I have done NS, completed the reservist in-camp-trainings, pay tax, and I am third class. yes, I am 3rd class.
