“The video may be raw, but so is your passion. Keep up the good work!!!”

In a Facebook post on the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) page on Wednesday, these words defended members of its youth wing for producing a video that was recently slammed online for sounding “robotic”.
…
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank our YP activist for their tireless work on the ground over the years. We did not expect that our humble (raw and unpolished) in-house production would go viral like this,” said in the post, which also highlighted comments from other Members of Parliament.

Minister of Manpower Tan Chuan-jin said, “Video may be raw and unpolished, but your service to our people is real and sincere. Many of us see that week in week out, and in-between weeks as well. Keep it up! Jiayou!”

Tampines MP Baey Yam Keng said, “It [the video] wasn’t meant to be a slick corporate video. It was raw but the commitment was real.”
…
Unfortunately, many viewers found that the youngsters sounded anything but passionate and emotional.

“Sad to see youths talking like parrots and reading scripts with bad diction and pronunciation,” says a Caroline Thomas Lingham in a comment left on Must Be Singapore’s FB post of the video.

“And here kids you find yourself a bunch of brainwashed young adults. They even sound like robots. Amazing,” says Singapore celebrity YouTuber Hirzie Zulkiflie on the same page.

While it was painful to watch the video in full for some, others found it hilarious.

Local Malay actor Ahmad Stokin said, “Whoaaaaaa!!! Sorry people I can’t help it but laugh.

A very ‘robotic’ and uncreative video made by the youth PAP has been circulating online and ridiculed by netizens.

The video, featuring short clips of members of various branches of youth PAP repeating lines in very monotonous voices, was supposed to drum up public passion for public service but in the end, many just felt that it was very badly done.

Many criticised the video for its poor production value and the dispassionate and the obvious script-reading delivery.

Some comments about the video suggested that the members were ‘parrots’, ‘brainwashed’ and ‘robots’.
