Indonesia's Joko "Jokowi" Widodo claimed victory in Wednesday's closely fought presidential race in what would be a triumph for a new breed of politician that has emerged in the world's third-largest democracy.

Singapore passes law to curb online piracy: Pirate bay first in the firing line

Just four months ago, the Philippine government came down hard on online piracy with the newly revamped Cybercrime law. Filipino offenders now stare at a fine between Php 200,000 (US$4,470) to Php 500,000 (US$11,175) and six to 20 years in prison.

Yesterday, the Singapore government decided to take a crack at it themselves, passing new amendments to its Copyright Act. The Bill allows owners of copyrighted material to get local Internet service providers (ISPs), such as SingTel or StarHub, to block "flagrantly infringing sites". Copyright holders now have the right to be heard during a blocking order application, while the receiving party will also have the right to appeal.
