SINGAPORE — More than 130 academics from around the world have put their names to an open letter in support of academic freedom and historian Thum Ping Tjin as of Tuesday (April 10), four days after the document was put up.
The list included those who have taught or previously worked with Dr Thum — an Oxford University research fellow — as well as several academics working in Singapore universities.
Dr Thum was involved in a marathon exchange lasting about six hours with Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam at a public hearing conducted last month by the Select Committee studying deliberate online falsehoods.
The session, which turned testy on occasion, saw both men engaging in a back-and-forth on Dr Thum’s interpretation of events in Singapore’s history.
