Singapore Herald

The Singapore Herald was a tabloid newspaper in Singapore whose publishing license was suspended by the Singapore government on 28 May 1971. The government had accused the paper of being involved in "black operations", of being funded by questionable foreign sources, of working up agitation against national policies and institutions and of "taking on the government".

History

In 1974, the government strengthened press control through the Newspaper and Printing Presses Act. Its editors included M.G.G. Pillai and Adele Koh, who were both Malaysians. Koh later moved to Australia, becoming the second wife of Don Dunstan, the former Premier of South Australia.
