We banned Far Eastern Economic Review? Disgusting.

Another publication banned from Singapore. What are we? A nation of idiots? A bunch of f*ck-wits? Can't we decide what's wholesome and what's not? Are we unable to separate fact from bullshit? Or is there more bullshit that we should be worried about?

Not even my mom and dad have a right to tell me what i can or cannot do. I am free and it is my right to be free. I can decide. I don't need a bunch of dysfunctional old men, devoid of any sex life whatsoever, sitting in a corner of parliament... free to do whatever the fuck they want, free to spend however they like, free to wank to all manner of porn in the privacy of their mansions. I don't need them to legislate my life, to tell me that oral sex is illegal. To tell me what religion i can practice. To tell me not to chew gum? To tell me what i can or cannot write in my blog (of which people are free to decide if i'm writing bullshit or not).

It is embarrassing. I'm sick of foreigners thinking that i come from a nation of babies.

The PAP is up there along with Microsoft, McDonalds, Coca Cola and a watered-down version of the Chinese Communist Party. And like most dictators and monopolies, they leave you no choice but to keep buying from them and they decide what you need. Only the very brainless, soulless, weak of heart and abject lazy will take to such a system.


So it has happened: the Singapore Government banned the Hong Kong-based monthly periodical The Far Eastern Economic Review. Not only are counter sales prohibited, but anyone found with a subscriber copy faces arrest.

The paper was required to post a $S200,000 bond however The Review failed to do so, reasoning that no other country makes such a demand. The Government probably requires such a bond because it suspects that foreign courts will not enforce the defamation judgements of Singapore courts that are made in favour of Singapore's politicians.

Lee Kuan Yew likes to think that Singapore is modern; a member of the First World. He is wrong.
