Singapore filmmaker surrenders tapes, camera to police

SINGAPORE
(AFP) – A Singaporean film maker who could be jailed for making a
documentary on an opposition politician has surrendered his video
camera and tapes to police investigators.

Martyn See told AFP
the equipment and six existing tapes of "Singapore Rebel," a
documentary about Chee Soon Juan, secretary-general of the Singapore
Democratic Party, were handed over on Monday evening.

Go Read his blog and give the poor person a pat on the back for being totally bullied by an over zealous government who thinks curbing free speech maintains a stable economy which of course is true because you can see that the biggest economies in the world up until this point are also belevolent dictatorships… oh…wait..
