Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim assured the public on Wednesday that the Government will continue to be "judicious" in its regulation of the Internet, even with the introduction of a new licensing framework for online news sites. Speaking to the media, Dr Yaacob conceded that the new framework could have been communicated better last week, but also defended the lack of a public consultation over the move. However, what MDA considers as discretionary powers that give it flexibility, others might interpret as ambiguity. SMU Associate Professor of Law Warren Chik said, "Where do you draw the line? It's not that easy to say that something is 100 per cent a personal blog and something is definitely a news site. There are a lot of sites that are somewhere in the middle…there will be a certain level of uncertainty." He said that in the absence of political assistance from the country in which the outfit is based, enforcing such a law on an extraterritorial site will be "almost impossible". "(If) it is a website that is foreign but has some sort of presence in Singapore, then it may be easier to enforce. Then you will have a presence, whether it's an office presence or somebody here to serve papers on," he said.
