After the article ‘YPAP leader paid $10,000 for MM Lee’s book‘ was
published, netizens have brought to the attention of The Temasek
Review about a Twitter war going on between the said YPAP leader,
Mr Cheo Ming Shen and a netizen.
Looking at the Twitter records of Bossming (aka Cheo Ming Shen) and
netizen Rocksontan in http://twitter.com/bossming and
http://twitter.com/rocksontan,
apparently, the Twitter war started when a netizen, Rocksontan
tweeted the following in the morning on Monday, 17 Jan:
.
rocksontan: Cheo Ming Shen say LKY is equivalent of Nelson Mandela
to Singaporeans?!! Who is this *******kia? http://twitpic.com/3qr7mm
It hit a raw nerve on Mr Cheo and understandably, Mr Cheo replied
angrily:
bossming: @Rocksontan
I figure who the **** are u is a bigger question? Oh wait nobody
gives a ****. So don’t bother answering.
Rocksontan continued at around noon time again:
rocksontan: Lawrence just told me the *******kia who say LKY is
like Mandela is from a company call Muffnang. Sell ******* one ah?

Mr Cheo then went on slamming Rocksontan at full throttle:
bossming: @Rocksontan
it seems there is only one person selling ******* here. and we know
thats you. time to upgrade and sell lampa, naenae, etc. Monday,

bossming: @Rocksontan
especially since it seems your vocab is limited to hokkien
vulgarities. There there, don’t cry, lets go back to your
childhood. Monday, January 17, 2011 12:29:48 PM via web in reply to
rocksontan
bossming: @Rocksontan
aiyah since you can’t afford a shrink, i help out lah. lets start
at the beginning. Monday, January 17, 2011 12:39:57 PM via

bossming: @Rocksontan
like perhaps why hiding behind a moniker and your hokkien
vulgarities actually make you feel better. Monday, January 17, 2011

bossming: @Rocksontan
the only one tainting Nelson Mandela’s name is you. Freak. Monday,

.
Rocksontan then dedicated a channel to Mr Cheo which further
infuriated him:
rocksontan: #WaysLKYislikeMandela They both have white hair
#cheomingshen Monday, January 17, 2011 12:55:32 PM via web
bossming: @Rocksontan
WOW dedicated a channel to me ah. I dedicate one to you also! Nah

too. #cheomingshen #rocktanlikes******* Monday, January 17, 2011

.
At this point, Mr Cheo had lost control. He continued to taunt and
dedicate “songs” to Rocksontan for the next hour or so. All this
while, Rocksontan did not reply to Mr Cheo:
bossming: playing with anonymous freaks is quite invigorating. i
really understand now why xiaxue enjoys doing it so much. Monday,
January 17, 2011 1:27:55 PM via TweetDeck
bossming: @xiaxue eh teach me how to play with anonymous freaks
leh. your zhao pai. now i know how you feel. it feels good. Monday,
January 17, 2011 1:28:45 PM via TweetDeck
bossming: There is always this lag in the replies though. One
afterall has to be careful to use their fake moniker account, and
not their real one. Monday, January 17, 2011 1:30:13 PM via
TweetDeck
bossming: 1 little 2 little 3 little rocksons. 3 little 4 little 5
little rocksons. Monday, January 17, 2011 1:32:56 PM via

of a nation despite imprisonment. the other cowers behind a fake
moniker Monday, January 17, 2011 1:42:27 PM via TweetDeck
bossming: #WaysrocksontanisNOTlikemandela hoping that his expert
use of hokkien vulgarities will not have a lawsuit ringing up his
corner. Monday, January 17, 2011 1:43:19 PM via TweetDeck
bossming: #WaysrocksontanisNOTlikemandela one is respected
globally, the other relies on his sad humour to drum up all of 800
“followers”. Monday, January 17, 2011 1:47:38 PM via

bossming: #WaysrocksontanisNOTlikemandela at the same time without
realising they are probably laughing AT him, not WITH him. Monday,
January 17, 2011 1:48:07 PM via TweetDeck

country tirelessly, the other shows up only when singapore

.
Then, Mr Cheo started to threaten Rocksontan:
bossming: @Rocksontan

want to meet me online, I will wait everyday at 5pm with a rose
Monday, January 17, 2011 2:30:00 PM via TweetDeck in reply to

bossming: @Rocksontan

trouble than you know. Monday, January 17, 2011 2:30:34 PM via
TweetDeck
rocksontan: #WaysLKYislikeMandela Mandela go jail, LKY put you in
jail #cheomingshen Monday, January 17, 2011 2:30:41 PM via

In the article ‘YPAP leader paid $10,000 for MM Lee’s book‘, Mr
Cheo has made a few comments on the discussion thread, confirming
the above twitter exchange with netizen Rocksontan. He said, “For
the record, rocksontan went personal on me and called me a
‘*******kia’, now I dunno about you guys, but if somebody gets
personal with me, I get personal back with them.”
Mr Cheo is a highly educated person, a graduate from the
prestigeous London School of Economics and Political Science and
the YPAP Chairman of Toa Payoh East branch. Even though netizen
Rocksontan shouldn’t have thrown vulgarities at Mr Cheo in the
first place, but is this the way our future leader is supposed to
behave – retaliating with more vulgarities and
vindictiveness?
Singapore will be finished if we are to be led by this sort of
revengeful PAP leaders in future.
