Current Affairs
Seminar on Internet Regulatory Reform
An opportunity to have your voice heard.
Organised by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, NTU
“The job of a citizen is to keep his mouth open” – Gunter Grass
Are Singaporeans satisfied with the state of Internet regulation as existing?
If not, what changes do we wish to see and how can a bottom-up desire for reform translate into policy review?
Can Singapore afford the political and social costs of free speech? Is there a contradiction between wanting freedom for political speech and controls over social speech? Is technology really in the driver’s seat? Are governments powerless in the face of a global Internet?
Guest speaker:
Mr Arun Mahizhnan, Deputy Director, Institute of Policy Studies
Presentations by members of the Bloggers’ Group for Internet Deregulation
Chaired by Asst Prof Cherian George, Wee Kim Wee School, NTU
