Clause 3

The Minister may in his discretion grant to any person in Singapore a licence to keep and use a press for the printing of documents and may at any time withdraw such a licence either permanently or for such period as he thinks fit.

The licence shall be in the prescribed form.

Any person to whom a licence is refused or whose licence is withdrawn may appeal to the President whose decision thereon shall be final.

No person shall keep for use or use any such press without such a licence.

For the purposes of this section the occupier of any premises on which any such press is found shall be deemed to have kept it for use until he proves the contrary.

Every licence granted under subsection (1) of this section shall ordinarily be for one year from the date of its issue.

The withdrawal of any licence shall be deemed to be sufficiently communicated to the licensee if a notice of withdrawal is personally served on the person in charge of the printing press.
