>I can’t help notice the thinly disguised bravado TOC is trying to display. Let’s face the truth. With the gazette on TOC, it is now a toothless mouthpiece of the opposition (read as SDP proxy).
Much as TOC tries hard to distance itself from this fact, by declaring it has no foreign funding or political affiliation to any opposition parties, its past activities tell us otherwise. For starters, I have noticed that TOC is more interested promoting sectarian interests first (in particular its non-stop lobbying on western-style Human Rights and LGBT interests), then only followed by heartland issues.
TOC claims to be made up of volunteers and it represents the community. Really? Why then the heavy censoring of views not in line with TOC’s editorial board? Like views that do not support the Gay Agenda? Here’s a link to show TOC’s slant towards the sectarian Gay Community’s views.
Hello, TOC and TR, there are more important issues than Rony and Gayism
Here’s an article showing how TOC starts to behave like the very PAP it vilifies. Yes, moderating comments and views! Note the heavy bias towards the Gay Community’s views again!
TOC, the “PAP of the New Media”
Here’s more on TOC’s practice of censorship. They create a ruckus when the PAP censors. Yet they practise censorship themselves?
TOC, TR, SG Daily practise censorship – who are they to campaign for free speech now?
Yes, note that in the last link above, I mentioned that TOC even deleted WHOLESALE, one of its writer’s articles. That deleted article had 170 comments before it was deleted. Hence, it can be seen that TOC deleted a hot topic that the community was very in touch and concerned with!
That writer used the handle, “Faquhar”. In fact, that article by Farquhar wasn’t the only one that got deleted. All of Farquhar’s articles were deleted wholesale!
Who is TOC to claim it is the torchbearer of free speech and it represents the community?
Another link to show TOC censors and moderates views – the very sin it tries to eradicate from the PAP regime. Again, note that I was censored because I did not support the pro-LGBT view!
Evidence that TOC censors and moderates
Here’s my take on the Alternative Media (I actually named TOC as the number one culprit) that uses the “divide and rule” game. The heart of the issue was AWARE’s takeover by Josie and group, and the retaking over by the LGBT Community at Aware’s EGM on May 2009. Note the very heavy skew and bias the way TOC handles the issue. Very, sectarian, very skewed towards the Gay Community.
Alternative Media has hijacked Opposition’s chances for next GE
TOC has been known to be used as a tool of SDP. Let’s take a look at how SDP promotes the Gay Community’s interest. Isn’t this sectarian interest?
SDP’s Playing to the Gay Gallery (Part 3).
In spite of all the above evidence that TOC censors and represents a specific group’s interest (ie the Gay Community), TOC has the gall to claim that it represents Singapore holistically.
Here’s TOC self-consoling talk, after it has been given the gazette order.
TOC Statement: Keep Calm and Carry On
Here’s TOC’s letter to PMO and MDA.
TOC’s letters to the PMO and the MDA
TOC claims it is transparent and does not depend on foreign but self-internal funding. If that is the case, the gazette does about nothing to change the operations of TOC. Why then the lamenting of the gazetting of TOC? That it is undemocratic because the bigger picture is that it is the start of gazetting of other blogs?
Really? Since when has TOC been interested in the good of the community? TOC is all about TOC itself. I have shown that it is first interested only in sectarian causes, then only followed by the community’s cause.
Come off the hypocritical talk, TOC. The gazette has put a stop to your foreign activities and you are now paralysed. That’s all to it. You have never been interested in the issues of the community. You only used the community as a platform to launch your own sectarian interests – ie Western style Human Rights and Gay Issues.
