Publications and Audio Materials

Local periodicals such as newspapers and magazines, as well as all forms of periodicals are issued with a one-year permit. Local Publications are not pre-vetted and publishers of local lifestyle publications are issued with content guidelines.

Importers need to ensure that the publications/audio materials adhere to the Content Guidelines for Imported Publications and do not feature content which could be considered objectionable on moral, racial or religious grounds, or deemed detrimental to Singapore’s national interests.

Content regulation for publications aims to reflect community standards while ensuring that due consideration is given to the artistic and educational merits of the publication.

Consumer advice for adult interest magazines and books were introduced to enable the public –  particularly parents – to make informed choices for themselves and their children.

The Restricted Publications Scheme (RPS) allows for the sale of publications that contain content which may offend certain segments of the public, but have artistic or educational merit.

Importers of publications may distribute, according to their discretion, publications which fall under the Exempted Publications categories, ensuring that the publications would not be considered objectionable on moral, racial or religious grounds, or deemed detrimental to Singapore’s national interests.

Parents are encouraged to play a proactive role in guiding their children.

There are different genres of publications available in the market to cater to the wide range of interests of Singaporeans.
