We have communicated with IMDA on several occasions over the annual declaration of 2019 under the licensing regime that it imposed on TOC in 2018.
IMDA found three issues with the 2019 declarations ; namely the identity of two donors whom TOC noted that we do not have their NRIC number; Asking TOC to justify the collection of subscription fees from its subscribers and discrepancy in the tabled sum of advertising revenue.
We have already clarified the identity of one of the donors and noted to IMDA that we are fine with donating the other sum if IMDA chooses to order us to do so and also clarified that it was just a mistake in the foreign advertiser figures that were submitted. (Note that all these figures are submitted voluntarily and IMDA had no means of checking if TOC does not fill up the numbers itself)
We have also explained to IMDA how the subscription model works, however IMDA went further to ask TOC to justify its subscription fees. Even after showing proof of how the model works, IMDA continued to press on regarding this matter.
