Singapore freedom
Another compare and contrast exercise with two articles from today's Sydney Morning Herald (free registration req'd, but full articles reproduced below the jump). Item 1: The University of NSW plays down fears about Singapore offshoot. After the University of Warwick pulls out of setting up a campus in Singapore over concerns about academic freedom and financial risks, UNSW displays no such fears, partly because the Australian university had closer ties with the region and a more firmly established brand name. It also turns out UNSW will receive about A$80 million in funding from the Singaporean Government. Item 2: When the credits roll out a person of interest. A profile of banned movie director Martyn See. Welcome to Singapore, potential UNSW academics. University plays down fears about Singapore offshoot The University of NSW has moved to allay fears about academic freedom and human rights at its planned $200 million-plus Singapore campus. When the credits roll out a person of interest Martyn See did not make a pornographic film, but the first-time Singapore director says he may as well have. He shot a profile on the country's leading opposition figure, Chee Soon Juan.posted by Simon on 10.26.05 at 02:54 PM in the Singapore category.
