[UPDATE 4 May, 1.10pm: Added details of Freedom House report]

Singapore fell 14 places to a record 149th position in terms of press freedom, according to an annual report by non-governmental organisation Reporters Without Borders (RWB).

Coming ahead of World Press Freedom Day, which was observed Friday, the report showed this is the city-state’s worst performance since the index was established in 2002.

On the list, Singapore is wedged in between Russia and Iraq, with Myanmar just two places behind. The former junta-led country jumped up 18 spots in this year’s ranking

Never believe in these stupid rankings which are naturally skewed as they are all anti establishment

Another accolade Singapore can be proud of. Can't way to read the full story in tomorrow's Sunday Times...
Really surprised to see the UK ranking so low (at 29) as I didn't think Leveson had made that much of a difference.
