Singapore bill to block sites like Pirate Bay
http://www.zdnet.com/sg/singapore-bill-to-block-sites-like-pirate-bay-7000031385/


Summary: Country passes bill that will allow rights owners to secure court injunctions instructing ISPs to block access to websites that contain copyright-infringing content.

Incidentally, the bill reportedly almost didn't get passed in parliament due to a lack of the minimum votes. Singapore's constitution mandates that at least one quarter of elected MPs must be present in the House for bills to be voted on and passed. Singapore has 87 elected MPs.

Amendments for the Copyright Act were due to be heard and passed in parliament on Monday, but had to be rescheduled to Tuesday due to the lack of attending MPs.
