“In a February 15, 2010, article, Mr. Bowring nonetheless included these two men in a list of Asian political dynasties, which may have been understood by readers to infer that the younger Mr. Lee did not achieve his position through merit. We wish to state clearly that this inference was not intended. We apologize to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong for any distress or embarrassment caused by any breach of the undertaking and the article.”

We have a small favour to ask from our supportive readers. TOC is Singapore’s longest surviving alternative media website and we are attracting new readers everyday. TOC’s independent, investigative journalism takes substantial time, money and hard work to produce. Not to mention the same amount of resources to defend ourselves from the persecution. But we soldier on because we believe in the value of our work and your right to information. TOC is editorially independent. We set out own agenda, free from commercial bias, undue influence from billionaire owners, millionaire politicians or shareholders. If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as USD1 a month or subscribing to us, you can support our work and consequently preserve the sanctity of press freedom. We appreciate your valued help and it means more to us than you can ever imagine!
