New licensing scheme for news websites that reach 50,000 people a month

From June 1, websites that regularly report Singapore news and have significant reach will require individual licences to operate.

This is just one of the ways for LEEgime to silence online media and freedom of speech.

Has anyone informed the relevant international organisations that deal with curbing freedom of speech?

This news has gone global.

Singapore to regulate Yahoo!, other online news sites
Reuters | Updated: May 28, 2013 18:56 IST

Lobby group Reporters Without Borders, in its latest report, ranked Singapore 149th globally in terms of press freedom, down 14 places from 2012 and below many of its neighbours.

A survey by the Straits Times newspaper shortly before the vote found 36.3 percent of people between the ages of 21 and 34 cited the Internet as their top source of domestic political news compared with 35.3 percent who preferred newspapers.

Conditions for the sites that require individual licenses, which have to be reviewed annually, include a performance bond of S$50,000 and a requirement that objectionable content be removed within 24 hours when directed by the MDA.

On state-owned Channel NewsAsia's Facebook page, a person named Jeremy Tan likened the development to what goes on in China or North Korea.

"You can try to shut us up. We will find a way around it," another internet user, Sushikin Ky, said on the Facebook page.

They need the money to pay for expensive COEs for their private cars.

 

[laksaboy]

wah lan eh, online website also want put ERP. fuck the govt la.

This is worse than ERP.

A better analogy is this: if the gantry detects that your vehicle is 'objectionable', its engine will be automatically shut down, whether you like it or not.

You gotta be fcuking kidding me!

Did LEEgime know that South China Morning Post reports on Singapore regularly?

How does MDA plan to collect $50,000 from SCMP when the latter's website is not even registered in Hong Kong?

Yakult Ibrahim and his colleagues failed to implement the "Internet Code Of Conduct".

This is their latest weapon to silence defenders of freedom.

Song ah, this night just backfire spectacularly for white scums.

If the news article is correct and reliable, then it surely puts LEEgime in a very bad light.
