While the screenshots were initially posted on Reddit on 26 April 2025, they only went viral on 29 April—coincidentally while Low was speaking at a rally. The original Reddit post has since been removed, but the screenshots continue circulating on social media.In the early hours of 30 April, Andre Low responded with an apology, calling his messages “inappropriate” and explaining that they were from a private chat with his business school classmates during a “different stage” of his life. Meanwhile, a separate issue involving fake Facebook comments is also gaining attention. CNA reported that nearly 58% of comments on 35 posts between 25 and 27 April were likely made by bots. These comments, often anti-PAP or anti-WP, appeared particularly on posts about Singapore’s move to block foreign election interference. Authorities are investigating, but the bot activity has only increased.And as the GE2025 campaign period wraps up, 1 May will see a record 11 rallies, including a rare one by independent candidate Jeremy Tan.
