The PAP Internet Brigade (IB) — or any coordinated online political influence group — typically uses a set of manipulative methods to control the narrative, deflect criticism, and sway public opinion. Here are the most common methods attributed to such operations in Singapore’s context:


---

🧠 1. Astroturfing

> Fake grassroots support



Creating the illusion that many “ordinary citizens” support PAP policies.

Multiple accounts commenting similarly to simulate majority opinion.

Likes/reacts upvoted strategically to boost pro-PAP comments.



---

💬 2. Comment Flooding

> Drowning criticism with noise



Spamming pro-establishment talking points to shift focus.

Burying meaningful discussions under irrelevant or derailing comments.

Often includes:

“Please be grateful for what you have.”

“Other countries are worse off.”

🎭 3. Sockpuppeting

> One person, many fake accounts



Running multiple Facebook profiles to argue with themselves or “back up” each other.

Pretending to be neutral or opposition supporters — then suddenly flipping and praising PAP.



---

🧱 4. Sealioning

> Fake curiosity, endless questions



Bombarding critics with “polite” but exhausting questions:

“Can you prove this?”

“Where’s your source?”


Goal is not to learn, but to wear you down.



---

🔁 5. Whataboutism

> Shifting blame to distract



When PAP is criticized, they reply:

“What about the WP’s failure in Aljunied?”

“What about opposition walkovers?”


Avoids addressing the issue directly.



---

🔥 6. Inciting Division

> Race, class, generation



Subtle race-based or class-based innuendos:

“Some groups just expect handouts.”

“Young people don’t understand the struggles of building Singapore.”


Goal: Divide opposition supporters and weaken unity.



---

🧃 7. Meme & Mockery Warfare

> Ridicule instead of rebuttal



Sharing memes or low-effort graphics mocking opposition leaders (e.g., Pritam Singh, Chee Soon Juan).

Labels like “Wayang Party” or “Opposition only complain, never contribute.”



---

🛑 8. Report Brigading

> Silencing dissent



Mass-reporting opposition-aligned Facebook pages or comments as “fake news” or “hate speech.”

Sometimes coordinated with calls to use POFMA (Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act).



---

📆 9. Timed Engagement Bursts

> Activated during high-stakes periods



Surge of IB activity during:

General Elections

Budget speeches

Scandals involving ministers or party image


Goal is to flood platforms at the moment public anger is highest.



---

👁️ 10. Gatekeeping Patriotism

> Equating criticism with betrayal



Accusing critics of being:

“Foreign agents”

“Ungrateful”

“Anti-national”


They push the message: “Support PAP = support Singapore.”
