Another side of Singapore's history

Be WARNED that this video is BANNED in Singapore.

Filmmaker Martyn See, who was under investigation last year for a documentary about an opposition leader, said he was surprised by the ban. He said the film, produced at the end of 2005, had been approved twice last year with a PG rating. But it was not shown at the 2006 Singapore International Film Festival, as he expected, See applied for an exhibition license to screen it publicly.



He said he had been ordered by the censorship board to surrender all copies of the film, but there's still a copy on the google video.

Zahari is the only one of those detained in the 1960s under the Internal Security Act who is willing to speak publicly about his experience. How true is the fact shown/spoken in the 45min interview? You have to decide on your own.
