The first clear sign that Singapore is beginning to lose the plot came on Sunday (20 August) as Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong gave the National Day Rally, the year’s most important political speech.

An Indonesian housewife has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for insulting Islam, an official said Tuesday, the latest conviction under the country's controversial blasphemy law. Siti Aisyah, 47, was found guilty on Monday evening of spreading Islamic teachings that differed from local ulemas -- religious leaders -- and calling them liars for disagreeing with her.
