I am concerned that there have been 3 instances of Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) being invoked - all against articles critical of the government. My view is that POFMA was indeed passed ahead of a General Election which is looming. The Government has a track-record of enacting laws targeting online criticisms and ahead of elections for the last 10 years.

SDP's Damanhuri Bin Abas was critical of the Government again in light of the Elected Presidency. He suggested more democracy, less control, and hoped it will listen to the people's voices. Does it make sense to you?

The report said that after the hoax of Lee's death was spread online and reported on internatonal news outlets CNN and CCTV news, Lee Kuan Yew was conscious enough to say a few words despite his condition. The ailing Lee Kuan Yew mustered whatever energy he could and firmly reminded reporters of the need to do their due diligence before reporting any news. Even when he is critically ill, Lee Kuan Yew is lucid enough to lecture reporters on the need for professionalism? Is he a legend or what?

The end looks to be near for Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first Prime Minister and former Minister Mentor. Redwire sources on the ground say police have been activated to Singapore General Hospital, where Mr Lee is warded. Mr Lee’s grandson (pictured above) has also been spotted at the hospital.

The Republic's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's condition has "deteriorated further" and he remains "critically ill" in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), according to an update on Wednesday (Mar 18) from the Prime Minister's Office. Mr Lee has been in hospital since Feb 5, when he was admitted for severe pneumonia.
