We have press freedom? Really?
Singapore, 27 October 2009 0739am
It was reported today that Law Minister Shanm went so far as to say the rankings of press freedom and the spot Singapore is in, in particular is “”quite absurd and divorced from reality”.
Just one thought, how is it that in a country with so much press freedom, I have never read or heard the “free press in Singapore” asks how much Temasek loses to foreigners and since Temasek claims to be profitable, how much of the profits are from Singapore?
Some people are so steeped in their own illusions they are the ones “quite absurd and divorced from reality”.
He claims that the poor rankings are solely because of the libel suits brought against the press by his government.
Is he willing to have these suits heard in an international, independent court?
I wonder which publication and reporter of the “free press in Singapore” even dares to ask him that.
