Undesirable Publications Act
Under the Undesirable Publications Act (Cap. 338), a person is prevented from importing, distributing or reproducing
a publication that is obscene and objectionable. A publication is obscene if its effect or the effect of any one of Singapore
its parts, if taken as a whole, tends to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to all relevant
circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it.
A publication will be objectionable if in the opinion of any controller, any part of the publication involves matters
such as sex, horror, cruelty, drug consumption, crime or violence that are likely to be injurious to the public good.
Additionally, matters involving race or religion which may cause hatred and enmity amongst racial and religious
groups in Singapore are considered objectionable. A number of factors will be taken into account when determining
whether a publication is objectionable.
