Defunct papers

The Singapore Tiger Standard, an English morning daily accused as "anti-Merdeka" by S. Rajaratnam,[7] closed in 1959 after the People's Action Party came to power.[8]

In 1971, the government crackdown on newspapers perceived to be under foreign influence or with subversive tendencies saw the closing of The Eastern Sun and The Singapore Herald.[9] Editorial executives of Nanyang Siang Pau, which was accused of propagating Chinese ethnic chauvinism, had been ordered detained without trial for a period of at least two years, and publication of the Chinese daily was briefly halted.[10][11]
