About 60 people gathered at a park in central Singapore on Sunday to protest against a university's decision to censor news stories in the school media related to a prominent opposition politician.
The group, about half were students and former students from the Nanyang Technological University, were upset the school had stopped a news article and halted the airing of a news bulletin about Chee Soon Juan, a vocal critic of the government.
"This is not the first time the school has interfered with the publication of articles. Why must the school dictate certain articles for certain issues? It is stifling," said Thaddaeus Wee, a second-year student from the university.
