Not a really going out to wide audience afaik.. listeners of 30-40k (ranked 127th in auz … see screenshot) .. but Aus ABC radio Rear Vision recently did a 30 min podcast on Sg politics recently.

Sg High Comm’s Anil Nayar put out a formal fb post rebuttal saying it was inaccurate and one-sided.

Feels like a pretty big diplomatic reaction for what seems like a niche podcast. actually Pofma the aus press or block access to abc? This response is classic Streisand effect and also proves the podcaster’s view that Singapore is a nanny state and has authoritarian government

Is it just the standard G’s narrative control/ media criticism stuff, or does the G always react this strongly ( in my opinion)to foreign press commentary via diplomats.

The government of Singapore has just sacked the leader of the Opposition — that's the way things happen in Singaporean politics. Though it looks like a model Westminster democracy, critics say it's actually a one-party state, dominated for more than 60 years by the People's Action Party.
So, how is it that such a prosperous and modern nation has never managed to free itself from the long shadow of its authoritarian founder, Lee Kuan Yew.
