One of my former students has just done an online documentary on the Singaporean Blogosphere. I had an interview with her which I understand appears in parts. I have not yet had the time to go through the documentary so I have no idea what clips she used. I do have the entire interview which I might put online in the future
"... it remains unknown whether blogs in Singapore will persistently serve as alternative sites to diversity the political discourse in Singapore. Rather than heralding the democratic potential of blogs, I would argue that blogs are by nature more of a self-serving means of expression than a representation of popular will. Hence, it remains to be seen whether in a closely monitored Police State, a centralising structure such as Tomorrow and the emergence of celebrity bloggers may serve to amalgamate the collective intelligence rather than privilege the voice of a dominant collective in the Singapore blogosphere."
