Commenting on the use of social networks as a platform for political campaigning during Indonesia's presidential election, SMU Associate Professor of English Literature Kirpal Singh said: "One can become a thousand on the internet. So if polling agencies say 800 people said this, it could actually just be two guys messing things up. I think for the future, 7 or 10 years from now… it will be much more sophisticated, much more streamlined and therefore easier and neater and cleaner in many, many ways. And also a little bit more difficult to subvert."
