It would appear, then, that the Minister of State has made a number of rather odd claims – that MND has somehow “addressed the untruths” propagated by an unidentified “coordinated online campaign to distract the public”, when a number of these issues have barely been resolved. It is also not clear that this online campaign was as well “coordinated” by “friends, sympathisers and proxies of the WP”, as compared to that which might have been effected by friends, sympathisers and proxies of the PAP, possibly including the very Ministry at the head of the controversy.
Mr Lee would do well to remember that unsubstantiated claims might lead to a spectacular backfire.
For example, then Minister for Education Mr Lee Yock Suan, in the 1997 general election contest for the former Cheng San GRC (part of which was, incidentally, absorbed into the current Aljunied GRC), was cited by media with this broad claim: “We’ll win by even bigger margin now”.
