Singapore Forces Removal of Dissident YouTube Video

SINGAPORE (AFP) - – A Singaporean filmmaker on Wednesday complied with a government order to remove a political film from video sharing site YouTube but said others were defiantly spreading it on the web.

Martyn See said he was ordered by the information ministry to to take down all digital copies of the film from YouTube and his blogsite by July 14 or face up to two years in jail and a fine of 10,000 Singapore dollars (7,100 US).

The banned video titled "Ex-political prisoner speaks out in Singapore" is about a rare public talk in 2009 by Lim Hock Siew, a leftist medical doctor and activist held from 1963 to 1982 during then prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's rule.

Singapore Manufacturing Going Into the Shitter

SINGAPORE: Singapore's manufacturing output continued to increase at a double-digit pace in June, but the rate of growth came in slower on the back of a drop in the biomedical segment.

Data released on Monday by the Economic Development Board (EDB) showed that industrial production in June increased by 26.1 per cent on-year, well below market forecasts of a 36.7 per cent expansion.

It is also a far cry from the previous two months that saw the fastest pace of expansion since records began in 1980. Output had risen 58.6 per cent in May and 49.7 per cent in April.

The volatile biomedical segment put a drag on Singapore's manufacturing output in June.
