Did you not bother to read what Roadwalker posted. I was going to post it if he didn't. Not much freedom in Singapore!

Singapore
The government in Singapore has broad powers to limit citizens' rights and to inhibit political opposition. [1]

In 2009, Singapore was ranked 133rd out of 175 nations by Reporters Without Borders in the Worldwide Press Freedom Index. Freedom in the World 2006 ranked Singapore 5 out of 7 for political freedom, and 4 out of 7 for civil liberties (where 1 is the most free), with an overall ranking of "partly free".
