I pointed to an article with bold headlines reporting that the police had refused to allow the PAP to hold a rally at Empress Place, and then to the last paragraph where in small type it added the meeting would take place where we were now. I compared this with a prominent report about an SPA rally. This was flagrant bias.

Lee Kuan YewYouโre talking about Rwanda or Bangladesh, or Cambodia, or the Philippines. Theyโve got democracy, according to Freedom House. But have you got a civilised life to lead?

They want homes, medicine, jobs, schools.
