A sammyboy forummer informed Singapore Hall of Shame that the popularity of the Anonymous hacker group is gaining in Singapore. Dissatisfaction with the ruling PAP regime has resulted in ordinary citizens cheering in glee when the threat of cyber war was issued by Anonymous/Messiah.
A group of Singaporean youths were supposedly even stopped by police after they have gathered with Guy Fawkes mask to show support for the Anonymous group on 5th Nov.
Now it seems that even members of the Singapore Police Force are supporting the cause of Anonymous to wreck havoc due to certain unpopular policies of the PAP. See link.
Here is one police officer by the name of 'Aidil Repsol" who seems to be a regular. If PAP are not careful, even their most ardent supporters, the civil servants, will switch their allegiance to the opposition.
Recently, Lee Hsien Loong said that he will spare no effort to track down hackers and bring them to justice. Yes, I am sure he is able to do that. But what if the movement is widespread and even his own kind are turning against him?
It's not right to say that these civil servants in the police force or civil defence or armed forces are ardent fans or supporters of the government or PAP.
ReplyDeleteEven if the opposition party is the ruling government, these people still have to work for them and instill law and order.
It does not means that if the opposition party takes over, the PAP government will remove these people along.
I was doing my National Service in the Police Force in the 1990s and patrolled Potong Pasir (back then under Chiam See Tong). In one incident, we were bum rushed by ardent fans of CST who seems that they wants to attack us. My experienced sergeant had a word with them, "We work for whoever rules the country, does that means PAP supporters are going to hate us if Chiam See Tong rules the government?"
