Leslie,

It's not clear what you are attempting to
achieve here.  Singapore is in many ways
one of the most progressive administrations
in the region.  What it has achieved in helping
bring telecommunications and Internet
services on a large scale to the entire region
and beyond is legendary and commendable.

So someone has found some legislation on
its books that is objectionable, but little if
ever enforced.  If you used that same tactic
on other venues - including most in the U.S.
- you would likely find equal or even more
objectionable provisions.

Cancelling is also arguably discriminatory,
and counterproductive.
