A group of bloggers said they will be organising a protest next week against the new licensing requirements imposed by the Media Development Authority on certain websites.

In a statement, the bloggers said the protest will take place on June 8, at the Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park, at 4pm.

They have also organised a petition to call for the Ministry of Communications and Information to withdraw the licensing regime completely.

Beginning on Saturday, online news sites with a significant reach will be subjected to a bond of S$50,000, and will have to comply within 24 hours to MDA's direction to remove content found to breach content standards.
