Since we were on the topic of censorship, what's better than mentioning that Nanyang Chronicle, the student-run campus newspaper, censored an article about Chee Soon Juan's visit to NTU in August 2008?
Read the article here: http://theonlinecitizen.com/2008/09/ntu-censors-campus-news-coverage-of-chee-soon-juan-visit/
A fellow NTU student, pointed to us this article, if not the issue would be throughly forgotten.
And what was the answer of why it was censored? Chair of NTU WKWSCI, said, "“there was a feeling of concern over the use of student media to publicise and promote the unsolicited views of an uninvited person to the campus.”
What do you all feel? was Nanyang Chronicle right to axe the article? Let us know through a comment below!
The article was axed by NTU, not the Chronicle.
