"he alluded to how criticism of Singapore in relation to press freedom sometimes reached levels "quite absurd and divorced from reality".
Take the World Press Freedom index by Reporters Without Borders, a Paris-based non-government organisation, which last year ranked Singapore 144 out of 173 countries - below even Guinea, whose military junta of late was reported to have gunned down people and had women raped on the streets."
"One source of some media's dislike of Singapore: The famous tussles the Government has had with publications like the Wall Street Journal and the Far Eastern Economic Review. The Government's stand, he reiterated, is: Criticise us, sure, but we demand the right of response. And if the line is crossed to making "allegations of fact against someone ... then there will be a libel suit".
It is not something the press are used to, so "every lawsuit is met with the same reaction - we are out to silence the press". But having read some of the articles at the centre of suits, he feels "it would have been perfectly possible to have been deeply critical of government policies ... without the addition of totally unnecessary remarks on some form of corruption"."
...will the cursed despot with a zombie wife and his asslicking and sh!t tasting running dogs dare to bring the libel suits to an international, independent court?
Who is divorced from reality? Farking selling propaganda in the press.
Since he claims Singapore has press freedom, how is it that no member of the "free press" dare ask the cursed despot and his gambling addicted Ho Jinx how much they lose to foreigners and since they claim to make profits, how much the profits are from Singapore?
