ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

The Media Development Authority (MDA) has been created to focus on and develop the media industry, putting Singapore at the forefront of the media age.

The MDA was formed by the merger of the Singapore Broadcasting Authority, the Films and Publications Department, and the Singapore Film Commission (SFC), on 1 Jan 2003. The setting up of MDA is in response to the convergence of different media that requires a consistent approach in developing and managing the different forms of media.
