The film has been/is on the film festival circuit so viewing copies are already out there - with the ban you can be rest assured that copies will become available imminently - our neighbours may think leaking it would be a nice jibe.
please tell me if this is to protect the dignity of old fart...?

Load it up on Vimeo, YouTube, etc... Plenty of choices
....that most people do not seem to see is that .....many of the interviewees were alleged communist and there was still a threat to national security from these supposed communists or commnunist sympathesizers that fled Singapore.
How than can the MDA explain the over 900,000 PRC citizens allowed into Singapore are from a communist country, and belong to the communist party of china?........How many of them recited the communist mantra when they were in school, or attended mandatory classes and indoctrination about the virtues of communism? The PAP does not seem to have a problem letting these people in. They also don't have a problem with trading and investing in a communist country. SO, now, how can MDA justify the continued hatred to this group of singaporeans?

How many hard core active communists are in this group, and how many of these people are supporters of communist ideology?

That's because the communist bogeyman and 'national security threat' are just lies, excuses for censoring a movie that does not parrot the PAP narrative. Communism is dead. Even China's economy is capitalist; the only thing communist is the authoritarian one-party rule
The real reason for the ban is to preserve old fart's mythical legacy of founding the nation with a few good men and turning it from 3rd to 1st World in one generation. Because if the myth is destroyed, PAP's credibility will be destroyed, and its legitimacy to rule will go.
It's all about party survival, not about 'communists'.
