This is one example the world ranked 154th Straits Times will never report come hell or high water.

According to the full Democracy Index below, Singapore is ranked 84th under the category hybrid regime. Given the current political climate and the lack of freedom of expression, it is rather appropriate. Is it any wonder why we are ranked so dismally low when we claim to have the most infallible, incorruptible and highest paid ministers in the world? What does our pledge really mean by democracy?

We can no longer ignore the world unless we choose to forever remain an ubiquitous frog in the well. On the other hand, many already chose to remain blind and deaf. Perhaps if reputation is so important, the ruling PAP government should sue the bejesus out of The Economist for labeling Sheep City a hybrid regime.

Irrelevant? Overruled!
