The likes of Nami may have been exposed and influenced heavily by Singaporean-style media system.

I’d say probably this one’s on the payroll of Singapore’s MDA: too self-serving and narrow-minded.

Nami can’t read apparently.

“application to renew my work visa was rejected without warning, explanation or right of appeal.”

Please read the article again, carefully, before commenting. Re-read it again and ask someone to read it to you if necessary.

Look through the history of singapore and re-examine the press suits and why the media industry is a state-controlled monopoly with editors carefully selected and having ex-ISA staff on their payroll, such as Ms Chua Mui Hoong.

Freelance journalist? Are you sure you don’t mean “unemployed journalist”? If a host government were obliged to grant a working visa to everyone claiming to be a “freelance journalist”, the United Kingdom would be swamped with claimants. Oh, good luck finding a new job. Having only two or three articles published for an entire year probably can’t pay the bills very well.
