Article: Traditional Media and Internet Control in Singapore
Abstract
Censorship has been practised in Singapore for several years. Though the authorities are unable to execute water-tight censorship, the political hegemony has still successfully eliminated what the authorities deem “undesirable” from the society. The following essay examines how Singapore censors traditional media as well as the internet, and evaluates the effectiveness of such censorship. As we will see, explicit censorship is effective in Singapore by arousing implicit censorship; and both kinds of censorship intertwine.
