SINGAPORE: The Media Development Authority (MDA) has notified the owners of "Breakfast Network", a Singapore-based socio-political commentary website, to register under the Broadcasting (Class Licence) Notification.

In comments issued on Wednesday, MDA said as part of the registration, the owners have to undertake not to receive foreign funding for the provision, management or operation of the website.

It said the site owners were notified on Tuesday.

An MDA spokesperson said the registration will not in any way affect what "Breakfast Network" can publish on its site.

But the undertaking will prevent the site from coming under the influence or control of foreign entities.

This is to ensure that Singapore politics remain a matter for Singaporeans alone, said the spokesperson.
