Is accessing pornography on the Internet illegal?
|
|
The MDA does not monitor or track users' access to any sites on the Internet and does not interfere with what individuals access in the privacy of their homes. We are primarily concerned with the purveyors and distributors of pornography. Unless you engage in such activities, the mere act of visiting such sites is not an offence.

How much is the TV licence fee?
|
|
The TV licence for a household is valid for one year from 1 January to 31 December at an annual licence fee of S$110.
If you apply for your TV licence after 1 January, the licence fee will be pro-rated. For applications made in the month of December, the licence fee will be pro-rated to 31st December of the following year.
You just need to take up one licence regardless of the number of TV sets or TV-enabled equipment in your home.

What happens if I do not apply for a TV Licence for my property?
|
|
Our licensing officers will be conducting checks on properties with no TV Licence. Under the Broadcasting Act (Cap. 28), it is an offence to have a TV set at your home without a valid TV licence. A fine of $200.00 shall be imposed on you if a TV set is found at your home during inspection.

Do I have to pay TV Licence fees if I am paying cable TV subscription fees?
|
|
Yes, you have to pay your TV licence fee as long as you have a TV set on your property. Subscription to cable TV services offers a greater choice of programmes for viewers who choose to have them. The cable subscription fees are for television services over and above the regular free-to-air local television channels, which are available to both cable subscribers and non-subscribers.
