Politicians who are savvy users

First, let's get the definitions of the various words used by the writer in my paper

1) "savvy" used by "my paper" to describe the politician. It was used as an adjective -
Adjective: Shrewd and knowledgeable in the realities of life.

Synonyms: noun. understanding - nous - gumption - common sense
verb. understand - see - twig - get - comprehend - know

2) Politician: A politician, political leader, or political figure (from Greek "polis") is an individual who is involved in influencing public policy and decision making. This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government, and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, coup d'état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, right of inheritance (see also: divine right of kings) or other means. Politics is not limited to governance through public office. Political offices may also be held in corporations, and other entities that are governed by self-defined political processes.

Online persona - why is there no online persona for all the rest of the politicians in the group except CSM and Gerald Giam. Interestingly both are from WP. The only one from the PAP group is LBW. So what is the writer trying to subliminally message? Has MOST of the PAP politicians, no online persona? Is that what the writer is trying to tell its readers. If they do have, then why has it not been included, unless it is for some subliminal reasons?

Below is a summary of the writer's assessment of the "politicians who are savvy users"

Highlights and comments in "red" are mine.
my paper
Thursday, Jan 12, 2012

Tan Chuan-Jin
Social-media presence: Very high. The Minister of State for National Development and Manpower updates Facebook almost daily and writes timely notes on hot-button issues.
He has a blog, but is mainly active on FB and Twitter.
Number of "likes" on FB: 6,942. Online persona: An animal-lover who has his ear to the ground. How savvy? Very. He pens well-balanced and carefully worded arguments in his notes. He uses FB to rally for causes in the community.

Chen Show Mao
Social-media presence: Fairly high. The Workers' Party member tweets and regularly updates his Facebook page with simple but subliminal messages.
Number of "likes" on FB: 34,500.
Online persona: Philosophical scholar oozing Obama-esque charm.
How savvy? A natural. He knows how to promote himself without appearing to be doing so.
His FB pictures tend to attract a lot of attention - one of him standing in front of a billboard featuring PAP MP Fatimah Lateef garnered more than 2,000 "likes".

Khaw Boon Wan
Social-media presence: Very high.
The National Development Minister is very responsive to comments on his Facebook page, replying within minutes at times.
His blog is updated regularly and even used to make important announcements.
Number of "likes" on FB: 3,419. Online persona: Friendly uncle next door.
How savvy? Rather. He chooses to engage in meaningful dialogue on Facebook and switches off comments on his blog, presumably to avoid convoluted arguments about policy issues.

Gerald Giam
Social-media presence: High.
The Non-Constituency Member of Parliament is the media representative of Workers' Party.
His FB page and blog are updated regularly; he tweets occasionally.
Number of "likes" on FB: 3,058.
Online persona: A professional, 24/7 press secretary How savvy? Good.
He reveals very few personal details on these online platforms, saving all the airtime for parliamentary debates.
His FB page and blog are one-stop sites for Parliament debate transcripts and links to news reports.

Indranee Rajah
Social-media presence: Fairly high. The Tanjong Pagar GRC MP has even replied to FB comments at 5.22am. (so what, as if she is the only one doing this?)
Number of "likes" on FB: 1,058.
Online persona: Ms Fixit.
How savvy? Good, but her FB presence might be working against her. Constituents are using her page as an extension of Meet The People sessions, demanding her attention for municipal matters that can be time-consuming.
If she does not get someone to help moderate her page soon, she may be accused of being unresponsive.

Lee Bee Wah
Social-media presence: Fairly high.
The president of the Singapore Table Tennis Association and Nee Soon GRC MP updates her FB almost every other day and tweets several times daily.
Number of "likes" on FB: 805.
Online persona: Consistent with her offline persona - hardworking, vocal MP with strong grassroots links. (really, who is the writer kidding?)
How savvy? Surprisingly savvy, but has received less attention from netizens in comparison to the other five.
She needs to beef up her personal profile. (the writer means propoganda?)
