Lee Kuan Yew on freedom of the press in domestic politics


Our founding father, Lee Kuan Yew has a brilliant response to American press' assertion that Singapore limited the free flow of information.

He pointed out that in America, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) bars foreigners from owning more than 25% of a TV or radio station. In other words, only Americans can control the business which influences the public opinion.

Even a huge nation like USA found such a safeguard necessary.
