Ministry of Digital Development and Information reposted this
As deepfakes generated by Artificial Intelligence become increasingly prevalent and convincing, I’ve been asked by many members of the public and media — both local and international — how Singapore is tackling the challenge of digitally manipulated content, especially with the General Elections set to be held by November 2025. Indeed, some countries which have held elections have started to see deepfakes or manipulated content depicting candidates saying things that they, in fact, did not say, or doing things that they, in fact, didn’t do. Such misinformation sows confusion about candidates and breeds mistrust in society during the critical time of elections. Deepfakes do not just attack our infrastructure of facts; they also threaten the foundations of our democratic system. Voters must be able to make informed choices based on facts, instead of being misled by untruths. To safeguard the integrity of our electoral process, Singapore has introduced the Elections (Integrity of Online Advertising) (Amendment) Bill in Parliament today. Once passed, this Bill will enhance our ability to swiftly counteract harmful digitally generated or manipulated online content of candidates that promotes or prejudices election outcomes. I look forward to the debate in the next Parliamentary sitting, where I am sure the House will discuss the issue robustly, reaffirming our commitment to protecting the integrity of our democracy and ensuring every Singaporean can exercise their rights with confidence.

Exciting news! 🚨 Since 26 June 2024, two new Codes of Practice have come into effect under the Online Criminal Harms Act (OCHA), boosting your online safety and security. The Online Communication Code requires online services with the highest risk of scams (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and WeChat) to put in place measures to proactively disrupt scams and malicious cyber activities. This means fewer scams and a more secure online environment for all of us! Meanwhile, with the E-Commerce Code, sellers and advertisers on online services that facilitate e-commerce activities and pose the highest risk of e-commerce scams (Carousell, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Advertisements and Facebook Pages) are required to verify their identities against government-issued records. Now, you can shop online with added confidence and peace of mind. Learn more about how these changes will benefit you: https://go.gov.sg/ocha Let’s stay safe and secure online! 💪🔒🌐

This year, the Translators Immersion Programme (TIP) returned to Malaysia for our annual exchange between the information ministries of Singapore and Malaysia on translation for government communications. Hosted by Malaysia’s Department of Information Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia (JaPen), Ministry of Communications, the MCI delegation gained useful insights during their visits to CALC, UPM, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Malaysian Translators Association, Parliament of Malaysia, Industrial Court of Malaysia and National Library over the week-long programme. Through the interactions, we observed that digitalisation has become an increasingly important and necessary tool to assist in language and translation efforts on the national level. Both Singapore and Malaysia are tapping on digital tools to further enhance productivity and efficiency in connecting with our citizens. Thank you, JaPen for the warm hospitality and enriching experience, and MCI looks forward to hosting the Malaysian team next year!
