It was one of the recommendations made by the Select Committee which looked into the issue.
The committee, which released its report on Sep 20, had noted that public education on media literacy, as well as critical thinking, have an essential role to play in strengthening “individual defences against deliberate online falsehoods”.
In his speech, Mr Iswaran also stressed the importance of public education, describing it as an “important anchor in our strategy against deliberate online falsehoods”. He said that while legislation is one part of the solution, it is “not sufficient”.
“You and I remain Singapore’s first and most important line of defence against deliberate online falsehoods,” he said.
“If each and every citizen understands that not all online information is authentic, and has the capacity and confidence to discern fact from falsehoods, then, and only then, would Singapore truly be able to withstand this global threat.”

It is good that the Government is recognising social media influencers.
By reaching out to social media influencers, the Government is also tapping a vast amount of ideas out there that can help to shape policy making
It is wise to tap and muster the strength of social media.
Because it is realtime, online and can reach many audience and mainstream media offering many varied solutions and ideas even weird unthinkable ones but could bring a breakthrough).
Because social media contribute to the building up of metadata, Big Data where policy makers and mainstream media are tapping for solutions to World problems and National problems.
Social media can shape National events and influence World events online, real time and transform the World into a wholesome World.

Digital disruptive technologies disrupted traditional business and industries and jobs.
It has created new business and new jobs. But it has also contribute to business demise and job loss.
Similarly, social media can also shape National events and World events and transform the Nation and the World positively into a wholesome World.
Holy people, Great people in the past use speeches and books to transform people - but only to the people they come into contact.
Social media is borderless and virtual and can reach larger audience online, real time.
The potential to shape World events is tremendous. What is needed is one's good heart, one's wise mind.

The latest US election - demonstrate that social media are used in cyber space to influence the election result by foreign intelligence.

Sophisticated software are used to do profiling, web crawl to do meta data search, data analytic are performed and ideologies, fake news, propaganda, scandalised news etc are spread to targeted audience - via the cyber space - to influence the election result.
This is a new dimension of cyber attack.
