The Online Citizen

The Online Citizen, founded in December 2006 by Andrew Loh and Remy Choo Zheng Xi,[1][2] is a community blogging platform involved in political activism in Singapore.[3] 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.[4] Under the Political Donations Act, political entities cannot receive funds from foreign contributors[5] 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.[6][7]
