Singapore to ease ban on political videos – FINALLY

Submitted by on August 20, 2008 – 11:30 AM6 Comments | 2 views

Prime Minister Lee announced that the government will ease up the ban on political video. This includes using the new media to show political videos. FINALLY. It’s about time that Singapore do this. Afterall, we are the so called IT hub. It’s funny that the political parties in the IT hub doesn’t make use of the new media to reach out to the citizen.

We are a democratic country. Political films can help voters make better decision at the polls. It’s funny that political films has been banned for so long. How did voters make the right choice in the past? I really wonder.

In fact, this issue has been brought up during the Seminar on Internet Regulatory Reform. And we know things are going to be changed soon. Mr Lee said an outright ban on party political films is no longer sensible. I would say a outright ban on party political film is no longer possible. It’s either the government ease up on this restriction or face losing control. And easing up the rules they will be.

So I guess the Bloggers’ Group for Internet Deregulation just scored a goal.

Speaking of the Seminar on Internet Regulatory Reform, I totally forgot to blog about it.
