Please "Like" my Facebook page

It seems that PAP MPs just don't get social media. While Opposition candidates have mostly embraced social media like ducks to water, the men and women in white continue to bumble and stumble like a gymnast constantly falling off the beam.

The PAP's REACH website meant for citizens' feedback to the government has far less views than the Temasek Review.

Then there is the infamous Wee Shu Min, daughter of PAP MP Wee Siew Kim, asking a disgruntled Singaporean to "get out of her elite uncaring face".

Even the Young PAP has had numerous faux pas online where they succeeded in antagonising netizens more than anything else.

Just this past week, Tampines PAP MP Irene Ng erected banners all over her constituency asking people to "Like" her Facebook page.
If that isn't lame, I dont know what is.

By the way, she is also the same MP who whined about the Workers' Party "excessive" media coverage of its first GRC MPS.

While I applaud PM Lee's attempt to engage voters over Facebook during campaigning, it's all just too contrived and insincere. Just like their previous attempts to do rap videos and hip-hop dances to woo the younger generation.

Since we are on the topic of Facebook, here are the top 10 Opposition candidates by number of  "Likes" as of 26 May 2011, 9pm. Achieved without any form of solicitation. (Please let me know if I missed out on anyone. Thanks!)
