‘Singapore also at risk’: Indonesian minister urges calm over internet cable jab
Indonesia’s communications minister has urged calm after a former Singaporean nominated member of parliament (NMP) suggested the city state could disrupt its neighbour’s internet access, arguing that any outage would cripple connectivity on both sides.
Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said the government and public “need not be irritated” by comments from ex-NMP Calvin Cheng.
In Singapore, NPMs are appointed to bring non-partisan perspectives to the legislature; they do not belong to any political party or speak for the government.
