This is the documentary entitled "Dr Lim Hock Siew", made by Singaporean film-maker Martyn See, which has been banned in Singapore. It consists of a recording of Dr Lim Hock Siew, a local communist who was a political prisoner for 19 years and 8 months, speaking before an audience about his long imprisonment, and the torture which he suffered while in prison.
As Mr Martyn See has been compelled by the authorities in Singapore to remove this film his website, I upload this film here in the interest of the freedom of information, and both the local and international public's right to know what is going on in Singapore. Mr Martyn See's website can be found at

Dr Lim is one of those rare breeds of intelligentsia, highly intelligent with an unbreakable will and genuine integrity. It is plain to see why he was such a threat to LKY, enough to imprison him for 20 years without trial. Even today, in his frail state, the power clarity of his speech moves us. His words ring with righteousness. God bless you Dr Lim!

Well, I guess with Internet, facebook, tweeter etc one's actions and secrets cannot be hidden anymore.
Some of us in the west thought that lee Kwan yew is an upright personality. Boy, are we wrong. I guess there is none totally upright. over here in Canada and the States, we can vote out an arrogant leader as they have an accountability. but i guess in Singapore the corrupt govt is above the law?
Sucks! There's gotta be a way to replace them.
