I think they would be more subtle...
Here are some classic tactics used by PAP
1.Bad Photos on States Times
Use the PAP controlled State Times - Choose bad looking photos
of opposition Members for coverage while PM Lee is always
smilingly.
2. Biased Coverages on State Times
Mistakes and Boo Boos by PAP are usually mellowed down while the
slightest mistakes by opposition are blown to out of proportion.
James Gomez forms incident and PM Lee's "fix opposition" quote are
good examples.
3. Terror Tactics to scare out
opposition
a) Defamation Lawsuits
b) Heavy bombing by States Times
c) Dig the entire life history and speeches of the candidate for
character assasination. Only PAP can give
their side of the story(e.g. Andrew Kuan, Tang Liang
Hong)
These are a continual tactics to give Singaporeans
little choice in politics so that PAP can stay in
power.
Hey, if i find one photo with PM Lee not smiling, your theory
will be revoked. Simple rule, when in doubt, don't use absolute
terms...
