Jackson Au of the Workers' Party has defended WP MP Kenneth Tiong, who faced a coordinated online attack. This incident occurred after Tiong announced plans to raise questions in Parliament about Air India's request for additional funding. Air India is seeking US$1.5 billion amid large losses, and Singapore Airlines, which owns a quarter of the carrier, will be affected.

The online attack against Tiong was described as "internet brigading" by Au. Tiong had pointed out that the issue involves not only private shareholders but also the state-owned investment firm Temasek, which has effective control of over 50% of Singapore Airlines.

Further details about the incident and the parliamentary questions are available from the source. The Workers' Party has spoken out against the online campaign targeting Tiong.
