After close to four years of snarky humour, trolling pranks and internet vigilantism, an anonymous member behind the infamous SMRT Ltd (Feedback) has finally revealed himself — and he goes by the name of Azly J. Nor.
In a note published on his Facebook page an hour ago, Azly claims to be part of the ridiculously popular local satire page — confirming that SMRT Ltd (Feedback) is indeed run by a collective of anonymous individuals. He recounts the origins of the Facebook page — born out of an idea formed by an Internet Relay Chat community of intellectuals and starting out as a legitimate real-time feedback channel for SMRT during the December 2011 MRT disruptions.
It was Azly who started injecting some wit and humour into the page's posts, and it was Azly who sarcastically replied to all who believed that their page was a legitimate channel to leave complaints.
As many would have clearly noticed, the usually caustic tone and snarky, fuck-all vibes of SMRT Ltd (Feedback) has disappeared recently, and Azly confirms that it's because the newfags have taken over.
"The old guards are now gone, and the freshlings took over. It's been close to 4 years, surely many would have move forward in life. I did."
And it also looks like he might very well be serious in running in the upcoming elections, creating the Teh Tarik Party and its legitimate accompanying manifesto with the help of the current team running SMRT Ltd.
"I may or may not run for elections, but the manifesto is there for everyone to figure out where their vote goes to."
Fear not, the page will continue running as "the neutral voice for Singapore, without fear nor favour" and will continue on with their antics — albeit a page where other publications simply pay a lot of money to dump their content for massive view count boosts.
As one of the old guards who crafted SMRT Ltd (Feedback) into the social media behemoth it is today, Azly admits that he still carries on their legacy even though he's no longer part of them.
"To one and all, my name is Azly J Nor. In case I don't see you, good morning, good evening, and goodnight."
