What is going on here?
the real singapore website is a website where anybody can easily contribute to it about singapore.It covers topic such as singapore politic or races.This news suddenly became a issue when  Media development authority(MDA) decided to shut the website down. So.. is this an act of unreasonable censorship or really an act to stop potential hatred and chaos from an website.


My opinion:
From what i heard and understand... therealsingapore has no form of editorial screening of the contribution post. This leads to the easy spread of hatred,unfounded rumors about issue, insensitive racial comment.  Personally, i have seen one of my was really convinced about the post in the website and always speak bad things about Singapore.  I have no idea whether what therealsingapore are providing is real or not, regardless of me really have visited the website before or not. However, the issue of this does raise the question of does Singapore is having authoritative form of censorship.

*Note* personally i have never visited the website before,so information discussed here can be easily wrong.
