Fern & Kiwi Bar and Eatery
This regular installment from the Chamber saw a gathering of about 60 members at the Fern & Kiwi Bar and Eatery, a New Zealand-themed bar and restaurant that recently established itself in Clarke Quay. It was particularly heartwarming to see many new faces, some of whom were attending SICC’s events for the first time. The crowd was well represented by various industries, including hospitality, petrochemical, logistics, education and financial services.

Demystifying the Data Protection Act
3 May 2013
Grand Copthorne Waterfront
The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is one of the most significant pieces of legislation to be passed in Singapore in recent years. Governing the collection, use and disclosure of personal data, provisions of the Act came into effect on 2 January 2013 and have a direct impact on all businesses.
The Act recognises both the rights of individuals to protect their personal data as well the needs of organisations to collect, use or disclose personal data for legitimate and reasonable purposes.
SICC organised a seminar on Demystifying the Personal Data Protection Act, and invited Mr Steve Tan, Equity Partner, Intellectual Property, Technology, Entertainment and Communications and Mr Benjamin Cheong, Partner, Technology Media & Telecommunications / Competition from Rajah & Tan LLP to provide insights on the PDPA to about 65 members from various industries. This seminar was initiated by the SICC Corporate Governance & Regulatory Committee which focuses on corporate, accounting and audit legislations relating to both listed and non-listed companies.
Questions addressed during the half-day session include:- As announced by the Minister for Communications and Information, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim on 15 May 2013, the data protection provisions will come into effect on 2 July 2014 and before that, the DNC Registry will be launched on 2 January 2014. To avoid breaching the law, companies should check with the DNC Registry before making marketing calls to ensure that the numbers are not lodged with the Registry by individuals who do not want to receive such calls. The law, however, excludes email sent by companies. For more information on the PDPA, please visit the website of the Personal Data Protection Commission at www.pdpc.gov.sg.
