<<Singapore Sucks>> Book Held Back From Entering Singapore
-
Breaking News: The organisers of the book launch for Singapore Sucks! were informed that MDA has contacted the book importer who was supposed to take delivery of the 400 copies of Singapore Sucks!.
The organisers were not privy to the conversation between the book importer and MDA, but understand that the title has attracted MDA's attention, and approval has not yet been granted to allow passage of the books into Singapore. The organisers were also informed that MDA might be paying bookseller Kinokuniya, who has been selling Singapore Sucks! for the past few months, a visit. The organisers are not dismissing the possibility that Singapore Sucks! may be removed from the shelves.

this is one of the reasons why i say the idiots running the show are either dumber than a sack of hammers, or so deluded they think banning things prevent people from getting them...
either conclusion is terrible for Singapore

I dun blame them cos there is one stomper who complained about the name of a restaurant being notti that she have to cover the eye of her kid.
The name of the restaurant is PORN's.
That is why the book have to be banned.
Or else all the parents have to blindfold their kids when the book is released.
We have stupid and dumb people living among us.

if you legislate for the lowest common factor, then the country is doomed...
what the idiots running the place should have done is to put the mother in her place and tell her that if she thought it was bad, she as a responsible parent should not bring the child there

I concur. -
The country is not doomed.
Just run by a bunch of highly paid group of people who want more pay and less work.
If you know that there will be silly people making noise over a stupid book, it is better to prevent the damage or get blamed later for not doing their work.
So, it is easy to stop the book release instead of doing damage control.
Knowing the typical silly singaporean mindset, there will be some noise over the title for many many weeks.
They will complain that the title is insulting the country and making a fool of the country in front of the tourist.
That is how shallow and stupid that most of the people are.
This is the hard truth about Singaporean.

The organisers of the Singapore Sucks! Book Launch have just received notice that all 400 copies have been allowed passage into Singapore and have arrived safely at the book importer's premises.
Additionally, MDA has requested one copy of Singapore Sucks! to be sent to them for review.
The organisers are prepared to cooperate with MDA's due processes and as such will be sending over to them a copy as per their request.
However, since Kinokuniya has removed the books from their shelves based on earlier developments, the organisers will be seeking additional clarifications as to whether sales can still go on locally during this interim period.

so much for surpressing the book...
i think the time is over when people just accept the order of the authorities.. and the time is over also when information and media can be blocked and censored...
information wants to be free!!
