A reasoning most deserving of derision and contempt. Saddam got 90% approval because only his family members and supporters were allowed to vote. In Singapore everyone is entitled to vote so 70% reflects the reality unlike in Iraq.

"Presidential elections were held in the Republic of Iraq on October 16, 2002, the second under the rule of Saddam Hussein (the first having taken place in 1995). According to official statistics, the turnout was 100%, with all 11,445,638 Iraqis registered to vote having voted "yes" in a referendum whether to support another seven year-term for President Saddam Hussein, which would legally have ended in 2009."
The above shows your ignorance of world affairs
Your ignorance of reality is laughable if you believe the mainstream media there.
LHL received only 69.9% of the votes during GE 2015 despite much manipulation and gerrymandering. That's a disgraceful result compared to what Saddam received
And you believe the SG media?
It is official that Saddam received overwhelming support. Like wise pap declares that officially it has 69.9% support. So you choose to believe both?
Do you believe the Iraqi media?
I believe SG media as much as I believe Iraqi media.
So PAP received 69.9% support and Saddam received more than 90% support
I don't believe Saddam got 90% of the vote but I believe PAP got 69.9%. You don't believe the PAP got 69.9% of the vote?
2016 World Freedom Press report ranks Singapore 154 and Iraq 158. Sama sama
you dont agree pap manipulated, controlled the press, gerrymandered?
Any press can be manipulated.
I am glad you admit SG press is not free nor independent
why is SG press 154 and not 1?
That statement does not say that. You simply read it the way you want to. It merely states that any press can be manipulated but not necessary that they are.
That's because some other press said so. They are likely manipulated by some other agency to place SG at 154. SG press could be much higher up the ladder.
That's due to biased reporting from international news media. SPH has always been well respected by sinkies for their credibility. They don't go around publishing fake news which is common in social media these days.
You admitted but is now back tracking
The SG media publish half truths and propaganda. Unwise people and simpletons cant see through propaganda and half truths
Why do you think SG press maybe No 1 and not 154?
