Hasta la Vista Mr Brown Column on TODAY

This came from Mr Brown’s Blog

    Regarding TODAY

    Some of you have been asking, so here goes.

    I have been informed that TODAY has suspended my column.

    It has been a trying few days for me, my family, my mum and my friends. Thank you all for your emails, letters, calls, SMSes, blogs and comments, I don’t know what to say.

    Thanks.

It is a sad day for many of us, except for those who have already muzzled themselves by feigning their lack of interest in the politics and current affairs of Singapore. Some may even say Brown has been asking for it all along and this is long in coming.

But it is truly unfortunate that the press – in this case TODAY – once again shows itself to be truly non-independent and that free press is Singapore is truly a myth and RSF is vindincated in rating Singapore as 140th out of 167 countries in the world in 2005.

So long, Mr Brown. I hope you will continue to write articles like you used to and put it up on your blog.

  2. i always loved reading your colums and i have wondered of late why yours were not featured …i will miss your forums mr brown

  3. 他们还在原地踏步,爱听在井里所能听到自己的回音。
    那没关系,我们在井外的总有一天能把他们拉出来。
    如果他们愿意伸出手的话。

  4. Merv, they just might. 🙂

    But I am quite sure if K Baka-ni lies dying by the side of the street, I will do what the Pharisees do. Cross to the other side of the street and walk on as if I didn’t see anything.

  5. this is bullshit. they shouldn’t suspend his column just because someone in MICA doesn’t like his writing. what’s next? they telling colin goh to shove it up his arse? idiocy.

  6. Poor Mr Brown. He has been writing stuff like that for a long time. I recalled the old days when he was doing it as postings on soc.culture.singapore. It wasn’t like so long ago.

  7. I’d be worried for him if he continues writing the same sort of articles. He is a marked man now. Somebody up there has been seriously offended.
