Under the proposed consumer data protection law, individuals who do not wish to receive unsolicited marketing phone calls, SMS/MMS and fax messages can register their phone numbers with the registry. Organisations will be required by law to check the registry to ensure they do not send any marketing calls or messages to registered numbers. The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) received some 850 responses during their month-long public consultation exercise which was held from Sept 13 to Oct 25, 2011, The Straits Times (ST) reported. The majority of the responses were in favour of the proposed registry. Based on the feedback received, MICA is proposing that the originating phone numbers of organisations sending marketing messages must be displayed to the receiver. It has also been proposed that a subscription fee be imposed for the checking of the DNC registry. MICA is seeking a second round of public feedback starting Monday on the scope and implementation details of the proposed registry. This includes the type of messages, organisations and phone numbers that will be under the purview of the registry; exceptions; the methods of registration; how organisations should use the registry; the penalty and enforcement regime; and appeal channels for organisations. Members of the public are invited to submit their views in writing or online at www.mica.gov.sg/DNConsultation by 5pm on Nov 28, 2011.
