Digital Infrastructure Bill introduces mandatory licensing for data centre and cloud operators.

The proposed Bill requires major data centre and cloud operators to obtain FDI and DC licenses by mid-2027. Compliance will cover cybersecurity, business continuity, and incident reporting, with penalties for breaches reaching $1 million or 10% of annual Singapore turnover.

Why it mattersLawyers must advise affected infrastructure clients on the upcoming licensing requirements and the significant financial risks associated with non-compliance.

Voting thresholds for collective sales of aging private properties lowered under Land Titles (Strata) Act.

Amendments to the Land Titles (Strata) Act reduce the standard 80% voting threshold for collective sales to 70% for properties aged 40–59 and 65% for those aged 60 and above. The changes aim to facilitate urban renewal and alleviate the financial burden of maintaining deteriorating infrastructure in older developments.

Why it mattersLawyers advising owners of older private assets should note the significantly lower barrier to exit and the introduction of new safeguards for non-consenting owners.
