WP proposes changes to Singapore's draft anti-foreign interference law
Add BT as a preferred sourceSingapore
THE opposition Workers' Party (WP) on Wednesday proposed a raft of amendments to a proposed law to counter foreign interference in Singapore, such as allowing for appeals to the High Court and for statutory board chief executives to be defined as "politically significant persons".
The party's MPs also suggested a public registry listing such individuals, and that assurances made by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) - that the proposed law does not stifle Singaporeans' own critical comments or political views - be placed in the text of the law itself.
