I subscribe to the Washington Post headlines e-mail, and guess what I found under the "Politics" section? (Keep in mind, they only send the hihglights)
Top Singapore GIC wealth fund executive resigns to run for president
SINGAPORE — A top executive at wealth fund Government of Singapore Investment Corp. has resigned to run for president of the city-state.

No kidding. Was there a mistake? I was amused, mainly because who honestly cares?! Not even Singaporeans care that much, considering that the president is really more a ceremonial position than anything. The Post didn't even run an article about the recently concluded and hotly contested Singapore elections, and here it was including news about Singapore's upcoming Presidential election in it's highlights?! Wow... real interesting.
Oh well, Singapore is still "important" enough to garner this much attention from the Associated Press. At least it exposes to the rest of the world how monopolizing the government is (I didn't even know SPH controlled that many publications!). Perhaps PAP might want to try a different tact now.
