Singapore to regulate Yahoo, other online news sites

http://j.mp/15gdhGw  (Reuters)

   "Prosperous and orderly Singapore, a regional base for many
    multinationals and fund managers, is one of the world's most wired-up
    cities with most people having broadband access.  It has long
    maintained strict controls on the media, saying that was necessary to
    maintain stability in a small, multi-racial country and that media
    must be held accountable for what they publish.  Lobby group Reporters
    Without Borders, in its latest report, ranked Singapore 149th globally
    in terms of press freedom, down 14 places from 2012 and below many of
    its neighbors."
