The PAP's ban on online discussions (including politically oriented podcasting, vodcasting, blogging and even posting photos of opposition rallies on public websites) during the campaign period disgruntled many younger Singaporeans, especially since many are aware that this would have been the best way for the opposition party to get their message across. According to Tan Tarn How, a media analyst with the Institute of Policy Studies, between 12 and 30 posts with tags such as "singapore elections" were posted on the blogosphere daily. Others are merely unhappy as their freedom of speech has been curbed.
