BREAKING NEWS: MDA DEMANDS REGISTRATION OF TOC

Posted by theonlinecitizen on January 11, 2011

The Media Development Authority (MDA) has written to The Online Citizen’s Joshua Chiang and Choo Zheng Xi, informing them that TOC has been determined to be ‘providing a programme for the promotion or discussion of political issues relating to Singapore’. As such, the website has to be registered with the MDA ‘under condition 4 of the Schedule to the Broadcasting (Class License) Notification’.

The email arrived at 4.13 pm today and included a nine-page registration form. Particulars demanded in the form include details of the web publisher, web host and five other editorial members currently residing in Singapore.

TOC has 14 days to register.

I think the trigger is the Face To Face event. To them, they see it as persistently political as it can get.

Probably right. They organized that political forum whereas previously they just covered such events.

TOC is doing online news reporting and did what they ought to do for the people. At least they are seen more professional and ethical than main stream media. With regard to face-to-face forum, it is a neutral event and they invited PAP but PAP chickened out, who to blame. All oppositions were presence and PM now became sour grape and tried to do TOC in. This stupid moron retarded LHL, I have no pity for his illness.

Nothing to stop them from carrying out work as before. Just register, create a one page constitution , have a chairman and you are done and yes pay $50

Singaporeans demand all the FTs in Singapore

Is it that simple? Their motive is to control. Once you are registered and then deregistered, they will consider the site illegal and you cannot operate anymore. Do you know whetehr TOC can go back to being a website?

Right now, TOC does not have to account to anybody in cyberspace.
