The podcast host had called Singapore a “one-party state” and an “autocracy”, and the episode had focused on the removal of Singapore’s former Leader of the Opposition (LO) Pritam Singh. Nayar discredited the discussion of Singh’s removal as LO, saying that it failed to mention the “key fact” of his criminal conviction for lying to a Parliamentary committee. He also slammed the Australian news outlet, saying: “What is surprising is that the ABC, a reputable national broadcaster, aired a programme that presented such a one-sided account and fell short of the standards of journalistic rigour that your listeners would expect.” #mothershipnews #mothershipabroad #news #fyp
