This news story appeared in the Singapore Democrats website (yoursdp.org) on 3 March 2009:
A group of Singaporeans who were detained under the Internal Security Act got together to write a book of poems that hammered at the draconian law.
Entitled 'Our Thoughts Are Free: Poems and Prose on Imprisonment and Exile', the book was launched on 28 Feb 2009. A reading was held last Saturday at an arthouse on Marshall Road. The even was standing room only where the authors took turns to read their contributions.
Ex-ISA detainees Mr Tan Jing Quee, Ms Teo Soh Lung, Dr Wong Souk Yee among others were on hand to read their works. Also present were former political leaders Drs Lim Hock Siew and Poh Soo Kai. Mr Vincent Cheng who was detained in 1987 was also present. It is available at Select Books and Kinokumiya Books.
