Following Worlds Press Freedom Day 2008, SingaBloodyPore features a very interesting article about the Press Freedom in Singapore. Very well written by several political inspired writers it critically observes the local Press situation and names interesting facts such as:
- Singapore is ranked 141 out of 167 in the global “World Press Freedom Index” (142 is Afghanistan)
- Singapore is ranked 157 out of 195 in the “Freedom of the Press World Ranking” (158 is Iraq)
- Detention and official ban of critical writers and newspapers
- Total monopol of Singapores published press by SPH (all newspapers but one, which is the, well not too critical TODAY, are published by the Singapore Press Holdings)
