WILL FIND A WAY

"You can try to shut us up. We will find a way around it,"

Prosperous and orderly Singapore, a regional base for many multinationals and fund managers, is one of the world's most wired-up cities with most people having broadband access.

It has long maintained strict controls on the media, saying that was necessary to maintain stability in a small, multi-racial country and that media must be held accountable for what they publish.

Lobby group Reporters Without Borders, in its latest report, ranked Singapore 149th globally in terms of press freedom, down 14 places from 2012 and below many of its neighbors.

Meh. I'd rather that than the press exploiting their freedom e.g. the phone hacking scandal in the UK by the Sun (which led to the downfall of the paper).
