Dr. Janil Puthucheary:

I support the idea that we have this moratorium because in Singapore our statute against online falsehoods came into effect on 1 October and everything we have discussed in the past five minutes is entirely coherent with the position we have taken. We would be more than happy to support the suggestion. Under our legislative framework we have targeted the issue of falsity and as a result have also put into place codes of practice around advertising transparency and political advertising transparency. The legislation that came into force in Singapore on 1 October is entirely coherent and consistent with what has just been described around a moratorium on a false politically motivated micro-targeted advertising.
