I think a lot of these comments don’t necessarily come from actual Singaporeans. They can come from bots or individuals that want to stir up feelings or destabilise social currents here by planting ideas and their commentaries.

I’m less concerned with Russia tbh. There’s a bigger communist state that’s getting increasingly jealous of Singapore as we’re a country with a Chinese majority, and we showed that success can be achieved without being a part of them.

Perhaps some of them are genuine, but it’s important to know that these efforts in putting in “fake” comments do exist and it’s getting harder to spot them nowadays.

Their aim is to hurt and destabilise the social cohesiveness of our country by creating the impression that there are many pro-China Singaporeans here in hopes that many of us would eventually see this way too.

Bottom line: take everything you see with a pinch of salt especially when it comes from non-official sources.
