As the media regulator for Singapore, MDA develops and implements policies that protect and empower consumers in a fast-changing media environment.

MDA assists the public in making more informed decisions when it comes to consuming media content on different platforms, ranging from print to film, arts, broadcast and radio.

Through careful consideration, arts performances, film and other media content are classified in accordance with community standards and norms. Classification enables individuals to make more informed decisions on media consumption.

Promoting media literacy and awareness of topics such as cyber wellness is also a key component of MDA’s consumer empowerment efforts. With Singapore’s high level of Internet penetration, MDA is committed to help cultivate a media-savvy population and enable parents to better guide their children in consuming media content.
