Goh Pei Ming on curbing online illicit and criminal activities

Any communication platform can be misused to facilitate criminal activities and the government primarily relies on the legal powers under the Online Criminal Harms Act to address the risks. With the Act, the police have been able to disrupt online criminal activities, including on communication platforms such as Telegram more effectively. The government will continue to review its laws and regulations to ensure that they remain effective in protecting users in Singapore from online criminal harms. Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming said this in reply to an MP’s question in parliament on Wednesday (May 6).
