(MENAFN) In what seems like a drastic move, the Singapore government has decided that all computers used by public servants will have their Internet access blocked from May-2017 onwards.
Basically, more than 100,000 computers will be cut off, in an effort to minimize security risks, and this is the main concern which made the government proceed with this shocking decision.
Memos are being sent out to all affected parties including government agencies, ministries and statutory boards, and trials at the IDA, not to mention that the agency leading the blockade have already started.
However, public servants will still be able to surf the web as they please, but only using their own personal devices such as Smart phones which are not linked to the government's network or e-mail system.
