... that the refusal of the Singapore Port Authority to allow a reporter from The Straits Times access to the tanker Norse Commander to report on a fire whilst the ship was under repair was descibed by the paper as "censorship of the very worst kind, bureaucracy in its stupidest mood"?

The start of the article says it was built in 1945 but the description says 1920. Which is right? SmartSE (talk) 16:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

1945 is correct - article amended. Mjroots (talk) 09:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Paraphrasing is fine. Hook is good, article is fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
