Unwrapped: Should we let our fate rest in the hands or keyboard of social media?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

In our weekly series Unwrapped, TheHomeGround Asia takes a closer look at major stories and happenings that impact Singaporeans.

It is no doubt that the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed, many have turned to the virtual world for school, work and even socialising.

With this reliance of the Internet comes its ugly side — one wrong move in public and you end up at the wrong end of the online vigilante stick.

Take busker Jeff Ng, for instance. One moment he was at a high, wowing crowds by the hundreds at his weekly performances outside The Cathay, the next, he was called out for shushing fans during his performance and calling someone a liar for unfollowing him on social media.

Has the Singapore online community gone amok? Should we put our fate in the hands of these keyboard warriors or fight back?
