They should be able to recognise me instantly or weed out imposters,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister&#8217;s suggestions were not policy prescriptions. He described them as &#8220;we need and if onlys&#8221; \u2013 the kind of maybe-impractical idea that sparks innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore has, however, taken recent steps that address some of the issues addressed in the speech. Earlier this month parliament passed the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021 (FICA). The Act gives the Minister for Home Affairs the authority to investigate individuals suspected of being foreign agents engaged in &#8220;hostile information campaigns&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Through FICA, third parties like online platforms, ISPs and websites may be compelled to block certain accounts or content in Singapore if they express political positions felt to represent opposition to the nation&#8217;s policies. The law also allows the government to name people as &#8220;Politically Significant Persons&#8221; if they conduct activities felt to have a political purpose. Being named as such a person brings with it obligations to disclose any donations received or eligibility for migration to another country.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the law <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/politics\/petition-to-delay-fica-fails-to-delay-debate\" rel=\"noopener\">have claimed<\/a> the language used in FICA is too broad and lacks judicial oversight.
