In line with Singapore’s social compact, IMDA seeks to help every citizen (from the young to the old) thrive in the digital age, and feel that he or she can engage in activities online in a safe, inclusive and empowering way. IMDA works actively with the public, people and private sectors (3P) to Dream, Design and Deliver so as to strengthen the digital dimension of Singapore’s social compact, or Singapore’s digital future.
This way, no citizen will be left behind and we can move forward as one nation.
