Breaking News: 400 copies of Singapore Sucks! (book) detained at Customs
- Thread starter Singa Crew
- Start date
Breaking News: The organisers of the book launch for Singapore Sucks! were informed that MDA has contacted the book importer who was supposed to take delivery of the 400 copies of Singapore Sucks!.
The organisers were not privy to the conversation between the book importer and MDA, but understand that the title has attracted MDA's attention, and approval has not yet been granted to allow passage of the books into Singapore. The organisers were also informed that MDA might be paying bookseller Kinokuniya, who has been selling Singapore Sucks! for the past few months, a visit. The organisers are not dismissing the possibility that Singapore Sucks! may be removed from the shelves.

Breaking News: Copies of Singapore Sucks! have been taken down from the bookshelves at Kinokuniya. A Kinokuniya employee who declined to be named confirmed that "MDA is investigating".
Surely you're not naive enough to believe that freedom of expression exists in this Third World Cuntry?
The organisers of the Singapore Sucks! Book Launch have just received notice that all 400 copies have been allowed passage into Singapore and have arrived safely at the book importer's premises.
Additionally, MDA has requested one copy of Singapore Sucks! to be sent to them for review.
The organisers are prepared to cooperate with MDA's due processes and as such will be sending over to them a copy as per their request.
However, since Kinokuniya has removed the books from their shelves based on earlier developments, the organisers will be seeking additional clarifications as to whether sales can still go on locally during this interim period.

Singa, is your book available in Mudland? If so, where can we find it?
