PM Lee talking about the haze!!!
PM Lee calls for responsible journalism which will help improve the lives of people
By May Wong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 06 October 2006 2200 hrs
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said that responsible journalism will help improve the lives of people.
Mr Lee was speaking at the 7th Asian-European Editors' Forum.
Citing Japan, Mr Lee said that it has been very successful at improving people's lives without an aggressive media.
He said: "Their approach is different from the Western one but it suits Japan's culture and circumstances and has contributed to Japan's success. As with the political system, in the media too, each country will have to evolve its own model of the media that works for it."
Mr Lee said that even in this Internet age, there will still be a role for serious journalism.
That's because people still want information sources which are reliable and insightful.
Using Singapore as an example, Mr Lee said that the government manages the Internet with a light touch but still applies the same defamation and sedition laws to it.
And the government is mindful of the increasing impact of the new and changing technology.
Mr Lee said: "Our position will evolve as we feel our way forward, but we do not believe that we should just drift with the tide. We still need anchor points that reflect our values, our vulnerabilities and our ambitions.
"The media in Singapore must adapt to these changes, do their best to stay relevant and continue to contribute constructively to nation building."
As economies develop, Mr Lee emphasised the need for good governance.
Mr Lee added that as new generations come of age, they will want to have more say in their countries' affairs.
"Leaders must be able to respond creatively to this new situation and political systems must evolve to remain effective. Each country, including Singapore, will have to make changes in its own way and strike its own point of balance, taking into account its unique circumstances," he said.
Mr Lee said Asian countries face major challenges despite the positive economic outlook.
But groupings like ASEAN and the Asia-Europe Summit Meetings can help establish greater relations and encourage dialogues.
Mr Lee said: "ASEAN aims to be the centre of these networks of cooperation both within Asia, between Asia and Europe, as well as the Pacific with the US. But to play this role, ASEAN must also be a strong and cohesive organisation, able to partner China and India effectively."
Mr Lee was addressing some 40 international editors from countries like China and France.
When asked during a question and answer session about Temasek Holdings' deal with ShinCorp, Mr Lee said it was a commercial decision which also reflected Singapore's confidence in Thailand's economy.
He added that Temasek complied with the rules and requirements of Thailand when inking the deal. - CNA/ir
