Quote:SINGAPORE: A new website run by a former editor of The Real Singapore, on Thursday (May 7) changed its name in order to avoid "legal confrontations" with Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).
The site, originally named Straits Times Review has rebranded itself as the
States Times Review.
Its original name was apparently too close for comfort as SPH's broadsheet newspaper The Straits Times, which lodged a trademark infringement complaint to Facebook.
The States Times Review, set up by blogger and systems engineer Alex Tan, describes itself as an “independent news site based in Australia”. It emerged shortly after authorities in Singapore ordered the shutdown of The Real Singapore (TRS).
The site was also unavailable earlier on Thursday, but the administrator said it was due to "massive amount of traffic" that they underestimated.
