master chee and his hairier foreigners pals

obviously, master chee is alot friendlier with hairer foreigners ang mos than smoother local peasants here. the recent victorious leeport about the LEEgime against the ang mo lau kaos left out master chee's credentials. could it be purposely done so in order that media attention is now discreetly given to master chee or his sdp clan? it's the usual public clowning entertainment. by now, peasants must have grown weary about it.

New Charges by Singapore Against the Wall Street Journal

This time the Lee family's personal fief reaches all the way to New York

The Singapore government has again gone after the Wall Street Journal, this time charging Melanie Kirkpatrick, a longtime New York-based editorial page editor, over two editorials and a letter to the editor that ran in the paper’s Asian edition last July and August.

Being charged in the Singapore courts is tantamount to being convicted. As far as can be determined, the lawsuit-happy government and the family of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew have never lost a case against the press in its own courts. The Singapore attorney general said the submissions to the newspaper were guilty of "scandalizing the court" by impugning its integrity, impartiality and independence.

The current case grows out of a decision in which the Singapore High Court fined Dow Jones Publishing Co. (Asia), the publisher of the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal Asia itself as a company last November for the same case. At S$25,000, the fine was the highest ever brought against a journalistic enterprise in Singapore and, according to the judge, was because the published items "contained insinuations of bias, lack of impartiality and lack of independence" on the part of Singapore's judiciary. The government has now gone after Kirkpatrick as well.
