Lim Hock Siew | Dr.Lim Hock Siew Video Banned
A FILM on a former leftist leader and political detainee, Dr Lim Hock Siew, will be banned from tomorrow, for being “against the public interest”, said the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts yesterday.
It said that the film by Martyn See, 41, “gives a distorted and misleading portrayal of Dr Lim’s arrests and detention under the Internal Security Act in 1963″.
“The Singapore Government will not allow individuals who have posed a security threat to Singapore’s interests in the past, to use media platforms such as films to make baseless accusations against the authorities, give a false portrayal of their previous activities in order to exculpate their guilt, and undermine public confidence in the Government in the process,” it added.
