The Old Man Lee Kuan Yu on press freedom in RP

In one of my father’s tour in Singapore he had remembered, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, addressing an assembly of students in front of Nanyang University and refuting the allusion questioning the freedom of expression in Singapore. My father was so incensed when he said "do you wish for a freedom of expression and information similar to what they do it in Philippines? Having too much of a free speech but still end up in anarchy and so much confusion". To cut a long story short, it didn't take much longer before my Dad realized that the elderly gentleman of Singapore was undeniably telling a fact with so much truth in it.

With so much certainty, here in the country the journalist and press people do not have definitive parameter in the freedom of information and expression. This has been the reason why it is abused; they even draw closer to point of inventing out news lines which are mere conjectures and hearsays and passes them on to the people who love to disseminate rumors. Between us are numerous personalities in the populace who care for chitchats and breathe with it resembling it as a vital element of our every day life.
