7 | Singaporean blogger, Lucky Tan called for the truth to be told: | Lucky Tan, mpitoraka blaogy avy ao Singapore, dia nangataka ny hilazàna ny marina: |
8 | Basically what MICA is saying is they banned this film because they want only the truth to be told and this film is full of falsehoods, lies and distortions. | Raha ny fototra iaingana dia nilaza ny MICA (Ministeran'ny Filazam-baovao, ny Fifandraisana ary ny Zavakanto) fa noraran-dry zareo ity horonantsary ity satria ny marina ihany no tian-dry zareo havoaka ari ity horonantsary ity dia feno zavatra diso, lainga sy fanodikodinan-dresaka. |
9 | Dr Lim Hock Siew was detained for 20 years without trial. | Dr Lim Hock Siew dia notanana am-ponja mandritry ny 20 taona tsy nandalo fitsarana. |

13 | On 18th July, British author Alan Shadrake was arrested by Singapore police in his hotel on charges of ‘criminal defamation', a day after his book, Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock, which was critical of the Singapore judicial system was launched. | Ny 18 Jlay, nosamborin'ny mpitandro filaminana ao Singapore tao amin'ny hotely nisy azy noho ny fiampangana azy ho nanao “fanalàm-baraka miharo heloka bevava” i Alan Shadrake, Britanika mpanoratra, ny ampitson'ny nivoahan'ny bokiny, Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock (Indray andro hono nisy mpanapa-doha sambatra iray: ny Fitsarana ao Singapore mipetraka amin'ny sezan'ny voampanga), izay nitsikera rafi-pitsarana napetraka ao Singapore. |
14 | His book was also taken off major bookstores in Singapore. | Nesorina tamin'ny talantàlan'ireo trano fivarotam-boky lehibe tany Singapore ireo bokiny. |
15 | He was detained for two days in which Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders called for his release. | Voatazona nandritra ny roa andro izy izay nangatahan'ny Amnesty International sy ny Reporters Without Borders ny famotsorana azy. |
16 | Singapore socio-political blog, The Online Citizen wondered why Mr Shadrake was charged with criminal defamation: | Ilay blaogy miresaka sosialy sy politika ao , The Online Citizen dia nanontany tena hoe nahoana Ingahy Shadrake no enjehina noho ny fanalàm-baraka miharo heloka bevava: |
17 | Alan Shadrake's book “Once a Jolly Hangman” makes for uncomfortable reading. | Ny bokin'i Alan Shadrake “Once a Jolly Hangman” dia vakiteny saro-takarina. |
18 | The book might have made those in power uncomfortable enough to arrest Mr Shadrake on the rarely used draconian charge of criminal defamation. | Ilay boky dia mety ho nanelingelina ireo eo amin'ny fitondrana ka ampy hisamborana an'ingahy Shadrake noho ny antony henjana sy fanalam-baraka miharo heloka bevava. |
19 | A Singaporean blog, Chemical Generation Singapore, wrote: | Ny blaogy Singaporiana iray, Chemical Generation Singapore, dia nanoratra: |
20 | With the arrest of Shadrake, the whole issue is less about the death penalty, and more about where we draw the line on supposed foreign intervention. | Miaraka amin'ny fisamborana an'i Shadrake, ny tena fototr'olana dia tsy ny mikasika ny fanamelohana ho faty loatra, fa tena mikasika ny fetra apetra-tsika momba ny fitsabahan'ny vahiny. |
21 | Cracking down on local politicians getting foreign money and logistics is fine with me. | Mety amiko ilay hoe manenjika ireo mpanao politika eto an-toerana mahazo fanohanana ara-bola sy fitaovana avy any ivelany. |
22 | But turning the screws on a foreigner in his book launch, although the foreigner is like a taunting Oliver Fricker and asking for it, is a bit too much in my book. | Saingy ny mizizotra amina vahiny iray amin'ny famoahany ny bokiny, na dia tahaka an'ilay Olivier Fricker mpandrangitra aza ilay vahiny ary mangataka ny ho izany, toa tafahoatra ihany kosa izany ato anaty bokiko e. |
23 | Unless there is more than meets the eye here | Raha tsy hoe angaha ka zavatra hafa ankoatry ny taka-maso no misy eto |
24 | Political Activist, Chee Siok Chin accused the Government of having ‘dirty secrets': | Ilay mafana fo amin'ny politika, Chee Siok Chin dia miampanga ny Governemanta ho manana ‘zavatra maloto afenina': |
25 | Now, which authoritarian regime would want to have it's “dirty little secrets” blown opened in a book? | Amin'izao fotoana, fitondrana tsy refesi-mandidy iza no hanaiky ny hisian'izay hoe ho anaty boky misokatra izany ny “zava-miafina malotokeliny rehetra”? |
26 | The same goes for Dr. Lim Hock Siew's speech that was put up by Martyn See on Youtube. | Ny zavatra tahaka izany dia mihatra koa amin'ny valan-dresaka nataon'i Dr. Lim Hock Siew izay nampakarin'i Martyn See ho ao anaty Youtube. |
27 | Of course Martyn had to comply with the MDA who required him to take it down. | Mazava loatra fa tsy maintsy miondrika manoloanana ny MDA i Martyn had to comply tamin'ny nangatahana azy hanala azy io tao. |
28 | After all, Dr. Lim spoke about his unlawful 19-year detention without trial by the ISD. | Na izany na tsy izany, Dr. Lim dia niresaka mikasika ny famonjana azy tsy ara-dalàna nandritry ny 19 taona tsy nisy fitsarana nataon'ny ISD. |
29 | Again, which oppressive regime would want to have the truth told about how it entrenches its power blown open in a video clip that can be accessed by all? | Averina indray mandeha indray, fitondrana jadona iza no hanaiky ny hilazàna ny marina momba ny fomba famikirany amin'ny fahefana ka atao anaty video izay azon'ny rehetra idirana sy jerena? |
