DIE STRAWBERRIES! DIE!

New faces flamed online

NEW People's Action Party (PAP) candidates may have been prepared beforehand for a frosty reception in cyberspace, but the speed and malice with which some of them are being picked apart online have come as a shock.

Within days and sometimes hours of their introduction to the media as PAP candidates, private pictures and even court documents have been dug up and disseminated online, and forums lit up with debate and speculation.

Although the new candidates admit that the sound and fury of cyberspace has taken them aback, they say they are trying to tune out the most vicious comments and focus on working the ground for the coming general election.

The two female candidates introduced thus far have been the subject of the most intense scrutiny online.

Pictures from the Facebook account of the PAP's youngest female candidate, 27-year-old business consultant Tin Pei Ling, showing her posing with a Kate Spade shopping bag or with her husband on holiday, were posted on various websites and blogs.

Netizens have also raged over her young age, and alleged that her being fielded was due to her husband's position as principal private secretary to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

In the case of Ms Foo Mee Har, the Standard Chartered banker, an application for a bankruptcy order against a Mr Bernard Chan, who netizens claim is her husband, has spread to various forums.

The fact that she became a Singaporean only in 2008 has also come under heavy fire online

doh.. what do she expect?

There's plenty of smut about Tin "Palin" going about in cyberspace.

I googled with the search string: I hate Obama

About 96,400,000 results (0.07 seconds)

I googled: Tin Pei Ling

About 192,000 results (0.10 seconds)

She still has a long way to go with regards to getting hate mail.

I hope no one will ask her what are her thoughts on foreign policy.

Tin "Palin" : " I can see Batam from my house"

People don't go on the internet to say; nice things about other people.
People go on the internet to say; They hate strawberries! DIE STRAWBERRIES! DIE!
