S'pore protests Australia TV

SINGAPORE (Reuter): Singapore has filed a protest with Australia's Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) over allegations of a link between investments by the city-state and a Myanmar drug lord, Singapore media reported yesterday.

Both state television and the Straits Times newspaper said it was understood the Singapore High Commission in Canberra had filed the protest earlier in the week. They gave no details of the contents.

Government officials were not immediately available on Friday for comment on the reports.

The TV show Dateline aired the program on Australia's Special Broadcasting Service last month.
