Opinion writer Devadas Krishnandas, who writes regular opinion pieces for Straits times responded to a critic of his article by telling him to “Shut Up”.
Krishnandas had written an article titled “Protests that Matter (http://www.straitstimes.com/news/opinion/more-opinion-stories/story/protests-matter-20141022)” which was published on Straits Times today about the protests in Hong Lim Park.
In it, he had suggested that there is no place for “disruptive protests” in Singapore current socio-political climate.
He argued that there are plenty of other, non-disruptive and legitimate ways to bring change including raising it with MPs are Meet-the-people session and engaging in government run dialogues and “proper feedback channels”.
He had criticised the protesters and suggested that what they were doing was “madness”.
His article was shared on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/muihoong/posts/754873274547729) by a ST Editor, Chua Mui Hoong, who had commented that “Protests may be legal but illegitimate”.
On this comment thread, a netizen, Tan Kok Tim had criticised the article suggesting that there was already nowhere else for protesters to go in Singapore.
In response, Mr Krishnandas commented and told Tan to “Shut Up”.
When he was later corrected, he again reiterated that Tan should shut up:

Later, after some more negative comments, Krishnandas deleted his own comments:

Krishnandas has been regularly writing for ST and his recent articles have been writing a lot of criticisms about Roy and Han Hui Hui.
See: DEVADAS KRISHNADAS: ROY NGERNG AND HAN HUI HUI ARE JUST TROUBLEMAKERS (http://therealsingapore.com/content/devadas-krishnadas-roy-ngerng-and-han-hui-hui-are-just-troublemakers)
He also wrote a book praising Lee Kuan Yew.
However, it seems that when his own work is criticised, he can’t take it and has no response but to tell netizens to “shut up”.
What do you think?
