In what seems like a surprising and drastic move, the Singapore government has decided that all computers used by public servants will have their Internet access blocked from May 2017 onwards.

According to The Straits Times, more than 100,000 computers will be cut off, in an effort to minimise security risks.

A spokesperson for the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said: "The Singapore government regularly reviews our IT measures to make our network more secure."
