What higher standards?

"It is not the role of journalists or newspapers in Singapore to champion issues, or campaign against the Government."
If you remember the mrbrown incident, this is what a certain press secretary said. Assuming we accept that, is it not logical then the journalists and newspapers should then just stick to reporting the news?

Well, The Straits Times doesn't really seem to be adhering to the "higher standards" a serious newspaper should meet. Read here. Now you know why I only flip through the sports section in such a "serious newspaper".
