Popular Singaporean blogger, mrbrown, penned a satirical column in a major Singaporean paper, got a rebuttal from the Singaporean government, and then had his column suspended.
Now the AFP and Reporters Sans Frontieres are on this case and it's a much bigger deal than if the govt. ignored the satire.
Good luck to mrbrown!

didnt expect you follow the news over here :-)
The stifling of intellectual debate is the hallmark of a morally bankrupt autocracy.
This type of BS is common in Europe, and on U.S. college campuses. No doubt there's a moral in there somewhere.
