Leveraging on new social media platforms and taking advantage of the popularity of computer gaming, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has developed an internet-based game, termed “Operation M.A.C.E” (Monster Annihilation and Control Enforcement).
This is a first-of-its-kind outreach programme that promotes dengue awareness among the young and the internet savvy. 
Operation M.A.C.E was launched today at the annual Clean & Green Singapore (CGS) Schools’ Carnival by Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Dr Amy Khor.
Operation M.A.C.E builds upon a story that is set in a futuristic Singapore that has been invaded by a race of aliens resembling Aedes mosquitoes. [click to continue…]

This is the ‘three strikes’ anti-piracy law which has already been proposed in several countries and implemented in South Korea. Is Singapore going to pass the “three strickes” law? How do you feel about it? Share in the comments please.
