Here is something about Me





After the last article exposing the existence of "My Compass", I received several requests from netizens asking when the next article will be published. I feel that I have to explain the purpose of my existence and what you can expect from this little blog of mine.

Being a one-man managed blog, there is only so much that I can do as I still have full-time job. I simply do not have the time to post daily. Besides, I only want to post meaningful articles. I hope this little place of mine can Share stories, Hinder falsehood, Agitate hypocrites, Maim Propaganda and Educate readers of the truth (SHAME). If you have any stories to share with me, please do not hesitate to write to me at sghallofshame@gmail.com or like me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sporehallofshame. My only requirement is that you verify as much information as you possibly can. However, I may not publish it if I think the information is not reliable.

I will be publishing the next article “Who are the main PAP IB behind My Compass” in a few days so stay tuned. For the involved parties, please do not trouble yourself in deleting anything as I have screenshot everything that I need.

Inside the World of the PAP Internet Brigade

Much has been mentioned within the internet about the existence of the PAP Internet Brigade (a.k.a “PAP IB”), but few know how this secretive group operates, and who their puppet-masters are. The Singapore Hall of Shame (SHS) was given exclusive access to their inner workings thanks to one of their former members; Agent Kelly.

My Compass

The SHS plans to publish a series of articles, shedding light on their structure, their identities, and their methods. As a start, we explore the secretive Facebook Group, “My Compass”.

There are 4 “My Compass” administrators whom co-ordinate communication strategies for 260 members. Access to this by invitation-only group, is via recommendations of existing trusted members.



Upon receiving instructions by the administrators, unquestioning members spring into action to counter unfavourable chatter forming against PAP members or its linked entities. They operate in large numbers with the primary objective of drowning out negative comments and derailing the discussions on the internet.
In addition, they also monitor Facebook activities of opposition parties, and call for reinforcements to help counter statements that are critical of the ruling party. On mundane days, typical actions including like-ing the FB pages of the PAP MPs to boast the popularity of MPs. Some of their communications and actions are captured below:

Members asked to "like" an MP

 Members Updated about Key PAP Members

  Concerted Effort to Comment on Opposition

 Defending their Area of Interest

 How they take down a FB posting

 Members asked to "like" a FB Page


 Discussion on Opposition Members


 Discussion on Anti-PAP Posting

Why should the average citizen be concerned about groups like “My Compass”?

The PAP Internet Brigade gives an artificial impression that PAP members (especially MPs) are well-liked, and that PAP policies are well-loved by its citizens. More importantly, their actions are counter-productive to efforts by netizens to critically engage policy makers, and present an inaccurate picture of policy reception.
The story does not end here, so stay tuned for more exciting exposes that are sure to shock and astound.
Note from SHS editor: Your FB friend could actually be a PAP IB agent. If you have any information on them, you can email me directly at sghallofshame@gmail.com. SHS ensures confidentially of all information received.

Malay musician sow discord to disaffect Malay/Muslims

A reader emailed me this article and requested that I publish it. So here it goes and you guys decide after reading it.

=======================================================================

While many Singaporeans are contented living in harmony in Singapore, popular Malay musician and arts activist Art Fazil had created ruckus when he posted a photo of Muslims receiving alms from Buddhist monks in front of a Buddha statue during the holy month of Ramadan on Facebook. A photo taken from Suria channel evening Malay news was intentionally taken out of context to sow discord among the Muslims and the non-Muslims. Supporters of Art Fazil felt that the collection of alms in front of a Buddha statue was inappropriate. They even urged Muslims should not be too tolerant towards other religions at the expense of Islam, which opposes idol worship.

It is sad to see such a benevolent act from the Buddhist community was slammed with negativity from the Art Fazil and his ardent supporters. Obviously, this is not the view of majority of Malay Muslims who value the harmony in Singapore. Besides, who would reject and criticized a kind gesture of giving without receiving. Perhaps it stems from Art Fazil’s deep-seated desire to "make a difference", or maybe it is motivated purely out of arrogance, insecurity and an insatiable need for publicity. The simple truth is that when musicians dabble in politics, they generally end up trivialising the issues they espouse, in the process making themselves look foolish and their audience feel patronised.

Just last week, Art Fazil and his Malay supporters even exclaimed “ethnic cleansing” citing fears that the Chinese in Singapore will be outnumbered by other races following a photo that briefly detailed a regulation to stop naming roads in Malay. Failing to understand and harmonised with our multicultural landscape and keep on harping on the issue of Malay discrimination, Art Fazil and gang blindly discuss on topics which lacked background research. Such tactlessness can be very fatal in tiny country firstly because Singapore is a cocktail of many racial groups. Secondly, Art Fazil's professionalism in the music industry is questionable as he has failed to guard his public image by engaging in such immature jape. There are many ways to conduct discussion, and blindly discussing it on Facebook to create animosity among the Malay/Muslims is definitely an inappropriate approach. 

Art Fazil who is a pro-Workers’ Party and Singapore Democratic Party supporter dabbled in seditious tendency memes to forward socio-political issues affecting the Muslims in Singapore through his alter ego ‘Mas Riddim’.  Art Fazil stirs up the Malay-Muslim discrimination in Singapore by citing Article 152 and 153 of the Singapore Constitution and blamed it on the PAP leaders for being unconstitutional. Instead of rationalizing issues and binding Singaporeans together, Art Fazil has created disaffection within the Malay Muslim community and isolating them from living in harmony with the rest of the community.  So what is his motive in doing all these scrooge gimmicks?


cheers
