Singapore-RSF

Media landscape​

Despite the “Switzerland of the East” label often used in government propaganda, the city-state does not fall far short of China when it comes to suppressing press freedom. Citizens have to deal with a media machine that is tightly controlled by the government. Harassment by the authorities has steadily silenced the few independent news websites, such as The Online Citizen, which was forced to close at the end of 2021.

Political context​

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s People’s Action Party (PAP), which has ruled the city-state continuously since its independence in 1965, has a regulatory arsenal that allows the government to directly appoint members of the boards and the editors of the leading media outlets, which are required to enforce the government line. The authorities also have the power to decide, arbitrarily, whether or not a foreign media outlet’s publications or broadcasts are permitted in the city-state.

Legal framework​

Under the penal code and sedition law – colonial era hangovers – promoting “ill-will and hostility” towards the government are punishable by imprisonment. Since the“anti-fake news” law’s adoption in 2019, the government can also “correct” online content if it deems it to be “false” or decides that it must “prevent a diminution of public confidence in (...) the government.” Finally, Singaporean media are banned from conducting any domestic political reporting “on behalf of a foreign principal” by the 2021 Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act, which nonetheless fails to explain what this phrase means.

Economic context​

Two large media groups own all of the major print, radio and broadcast media. One, MediaCorp, is owned by a state investment company. The other, Singapore Press Holdings, is supposed to be privately owned but its directors are appointed by the government. As a result, self-censorship is widespread, including within independent media, which – despite alternative forms of funding – are subjected to systematic judicial and economic harassment by the government.

Sociocultural context​

Implicit red lines defining topics that are off limits – known as “out of bounds markers” – drastically restrict coverage of many subjects and are enforced by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), a censorship office controlled by the information ministry. It enables the government to impose its own version of the truth on the media on a diverse range of subjects including the death penalty, measures taken to combat Covid-19 and even the salary of the prime minister’s wife.

Safety​

Bloggers and independent journalists often find themselves the targets of lawsuits brought directly by the prime minister or his aides that seek huge sums in damages for comments that annoy him. In a highly connected society, news and information providers who cross red lines may also be subjected to smear campaigns orchestrated by ruling party trolls, to the point that the victims often choose self-imposed exile if this option is available to them.

The Public Service Division just announced that Permanent Secretary for Health Mr Chan Yeng Kit will leave Ministry of Health, Singapore from 15 July 2024. He will be seconded to SPH Media as its CEO.
Yeng Kit has been a close colleague, and I wanted to pen this post to put on record his contributions to MOH and for his immense help to me.
He was posted from MINDEF to MOH in December 2019. A month later, the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Yeng Kit sometimes quipped that he might have been a jinx for the ministry. I like to think that his posting was prescient, and he came to MOH where he was most needed.
Yeng Kit led the MOH team to do a lot of quiet work in the background, which I won’t elaborate. But it is an immense workload of planning, execution, data collection to understand the situation, etc. He does not say much at meetings because his contribution is in the background, without which the Multi-Ministry Taskforce could not function.
I turned to Yeng Kit and his team again, when we needed to tackle the challenge of an ageing population. We knew we needed a fairly fundamental transformation of our healthcare system to prepare us for the future.
So while fighting a pandemic, the MOH team under Yeng Kit’s charge embarked on several key national initiatives, such as Healthier SG and the ramping up of healthcare manpower.
We are keenly aware that a good healthcare system is fundamentally about the skills and passion of our doctors, nurses and healthcare workers. We put in place many measures to attract, develop and retain talent in the sector, including the introduction of the ANGEL scheme, salary guidelines for the community care sector, and taking a strong stance against abuse and harassment of healthcare workers.
At a personal level, I am deeply appreciative of Yeng Kit’s stewardship of the ministry. He is always calm and level-headed, and offers insights and practical solutions that only years of experience can bring.
Yeng Kit will move on to his next challenge, at SPH Media. It is a different challenge, but one which I believe his innate qualities and years of experience in public service will bring to bear.
Thank you and all the best, Yeng Kit. The MOH family will miss you.

It's not unusual for scumbags to praise their own kind.

Anyway, the SPH media division is a nationalised entity, it doesn't matter which clown gets to be in charge.
