The Online Citizen (TOC) has rebutted a claim by the Media Development Authority (MDA) that the site does not meet criteria for an individual license.
TOC on Wednesday morning published a screenshot of its statistics showing it received 171,601 unique visitors from April 26 to May 26. It did not state where those visitors were from.
The two criteria of the recently announced individual licensing scheme for news websites are: that the site posts at least one news article about Singapore a week; and that the site attracts more than 50,000 unique visitors from Singapore per month, over two months.
In its latest posting, TOC said MDA: "MDA's failure to explain how its new policy is to be applied at present suggest that the manner in which it is being introduced is opaque and arbitrary, and does not give Singaporeans confidence in its clear application in the future."
