The media in Singapore: A structural problem

[Confuseous]

Many Singaporeans will readily acknowledge (however much the MSM may protest otherwise) that there is an inherent slant in the local news that favours the ruling PAP. Some techniques are pretty obvious whilst others are quite subtle. The newspapers here have for a long time been assisting the state in building a narrative about our society and its politics. Much of the slanted views have entered into the collected psyche of the nation to a point where Singaporeans would readily agree with many fundamental arguments put forward by the ruling PAP.

So, if I were to apply for a licence to operate a printing press and it were to be rejected by MICA, I can appeal to the President. The President will then be told by the Cabinet to reject my licence anyway. It is a mockery of common sense. But, that is the law.

Yes they have obviously established the system very strongly and it's very deeply entrenched in sg society and the running of things here. They have covered all angles obviously therefore going thru the legal means would be futile cos the legal system is controlled by them anyway.
