The Online Citizen has been banned in Singapore via the government’s suspension of its class license under the Broadcasting Act. Editor-in-chief Terry Xu joins New Naratif managing director PJ Thum to discuss the banning of TOC, what Terry plans to do next, and the proposed new anti-foreign interference law and how it may impact both TOC and New Naratif. This interview was recorded live on 15 September 2021.
