Selected Answer: D
The PDPA’s origins Singapore is one of the last economically advanced countries to adopt a COMPREHENSIVE DATA PRIVACY LAW for its private sector. The gestation of the law is traced by Chesterman. It subsequently became the basis for the ‘TrustSg’ trustmark administered by Singapore’s National Trust Council, a system ‘not regarded as particularly effective’, although some revocations of trustmarks have occurred. An inter-Ministry committee started to consider data protection legislation in 2005, and proceeded through a series of overseas investigations, consultation papers, and submission rounds.

Chesterman sees the primary motivations for the Singapore legislation as ECONOMIC An inter-Ministry committee started to consider data protection legislation in 2005, and proceeded through a series of overseas investigations, consultation papers, and submission rounds. The PDPA which emerged from the process is in most respects the same as the draft Bill announced earlier in 2012 by the then Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts, which confirmed many features foreshadowed in a previous discussion paper. However, other features were jettisoned, generally resulting in improved privacy protections. Chesterman sees the primary motivations for the Singapore legislation as ECONOMIC, rather than civil liberties or consumer protection, concerns which aim to increase the flow of personal data into Singapore by making it become a ‘trusted node’. Whether the Act will or should succeed in creating such international trust is arguable

One of the purposes of the PDPA is to “increase consumer trust and strengthen Singapore's position as a trusted global data hub.”
