The Singapore Tiger Standard, an English morning daily newspaper, was accused as "anti-Merdeka" by S. Rajaratnam,[7] and was 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 two years, and publication of The Chinese Daily was briefly halted.[10][11]
