SINGAPORE, Dec 17 (dpa): Former Singapore news and comment publication The Online Citizen on Thursday (Dec 16) lost its legal bid to have its website and social media pages restored after they were taken down earlier in the year.

The Online Citizen had been effectively banned in September, with its website and related pages removed for allegedly refusing to disclose foreign funding.
