NTU censors campus news on Chee Soon Juan visit
The Online Citizen said:
After much negotiation between the paper’s teacher-advisors and the university, NTU president Su Guaning gave the article the go-ahead.

Many of the student editors at the Chronicle were clearly indignant when they learnt about this.
