Inconsistent relationships?
In fact, there has been some inconsistencies in how the Mothership team has publicly acknowledged Mr George Yeo.
Early this year, in attempting to seek students to fill internship positions at Mothership, editor Belmont Lay was listed as the contact person in an email to varsities that indicated Yeo to be one of the founders of the website.
“Mothership is a youth organisation founded by ex-Foreign Minister Mr George Yeo. They promote social consciousness among youths in Singapore through various volunteer projects with charities and welfare organisations. They are looking for interns to help with their upcoming media platform, Mothership Post,” said the email.
This was also confirmed by head of media business Martino Tan, who identified George Yeo to be a founder in his professional profile page online.
“Focused on how the youth view community service, Mothership provides accessible, actionable and creative platforms for Singaporeans to get involved… Mothership’s founder is former Foreign Minister of Singapore Mr George Yeo,” Tan’s profile announces.
It would be fairly unusual for a founding member to not be involved in the beginning stages of a website, where the most guidance is needed. Judging by the content, it might also be reasonable to believe that the slant on foreign affairs is managed by George Yeo. So, why the different representation on the website?
