The Online Citizen


The Online Citizen, founded in December 2006 by Andrew Loh and Remy Choo Zheng Xi, is a community blogging platform involved in political activism in Singapore. It describes itself as a group of advocacy journalists who report on topics not generally covered by the mainstream media.
In 2011, the Singapore Registry of Political Donations gazetted the platform as a political organization, noting that the editors of the website organized online and offline campaigns to change legislation and government policies. Under the Political Donations Act, political entities cannot receive funds from foreign contributors and anonymous contributions above SGD 5000.
In February 2018, TOC was de-gazetted as a "political association", as it is currently only run by one man – editor Terry Xu, who has been responsible for the development of content since 2011, when its core team of editors left.
