Lee Hui Ying on Digital Infrastructure Bill
The Digital Infrastructure Bill is a timely and necessary intervention that sets guardrails for Singapore’s next phase of growth to ensure it remains Asia’s premier digital hub, said MP Lee Hui Ying. She made several suggestions to the government in parliament on Tuesday (Oct 6). First, consider giving the Infocomm Media Development Authority “step-in” rights to put critical data centres under a statutory trust or receivership if it deems the existing operators to be unable or unwilling to act in the public's interest. Second, set its sights on pioneering breakthroughs in tropical data centre efficiency to provide solutions and benefits not just locally but regionally. Third, prepare Singapore’s workforce for specific jobs and economic opportunities that will be created in the new endeavours.
