Rigged petition?
William Lim’s online petition asking the PM to resign and hoping to reach 100,000 signatures is likely to be a failure. I think the counter is rigged. I remember that this happened to my online survey in mysingaporenews. The first few surveys worked well. Then it happened. Whenever the response hit a certain level it will fall back to a lower level. It kept repeating and would not hit anywhere above this ‘blocked’ level.

Yesterday when I read about the petition I went to the site to take a look. The number of signatures was 1329. I know as I have the number typed into the draft of a post that I was preparing. One hour later I went back to the site and the number was 1296. How could it be? A few hours later I checked again and it was creeping up. So I thought it must be a glitch but things are normal.

This morning the number was higher but nothing to crow about. It was inching up. In the afternoon I went in to take a peep. The counter stood at 1879 while 3 new names appeared indicating 3 more signatures. But the counters did not move. I waited for a few minutes and nothing happened. So I did a refresh and the number changed. From 1879, the new number was 1835. Can you believe it?

Then, after 15 minutes, it was 1841. Something is just not right. And I suspect there are more things that are not going right. Something fishy is going on.

Good luck to William Lim and his petition if he can get any satisfactory numbers.
