Last evening, a post by “an ordinary Singaporean” went
somewhat viral with on social media, saying how two opposition
parties were backstabbing each other during their walkabouts.
A Facebook account by a person named, Rommel Tan wrote
that he was greeted by a group of volunteers from political party,
SingFirst on Sunday, asking he and his family not to trust and vote
for National Solidarity Party (NSP). He was subsequently approached
by Steve Chia from NSP and said the same words to him.
Rommel went on to say how a member of parliament from
the People’s Action Party (PAP) came to him to ask about his
well-being and his family instead of saying stuff about the
opposition parties.
Denial of allegations by Rommel Tan
However, Steve Chia, who was mentioned, wrote a post to
clarify the matter. He said that he does not know who the person is
and has not spoken the words that were attributed to him.
Chia goes on to say that he has respect for all
opposition members as well as members from SingFirst and would not
say things such as “SingFirst are useless.”
“It is my basic principle not to bad-mouth another
politician or Opposition Party.” wrote Steve Chia.
He added that there does not seem to be any PAP MP or
Minister walkabout yesterday morning at Tampines St 81 market area
and ending his post with a hashtag, “#PAPIB hard at work.”
TOC contacted Tan Jee Say, Secretary General of
SingFirst on the issue, and Mr Tan said that he had checked with
his members and no one claims to have said the words that were
attributed to them.
Glee by pro-establishment pages and individuals
Pro-establishment pages such as the Fabrications about
PAP have shared the post and ridiculing the opposition parties on
the matter.
Even the former nominated member of parliament, a
member of the Media Literacy Council, Calvin Cheng shared the post
on his account but has since taken down the post.
