47.—(1) On giving notice, a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number may at any time withdraw any consent given to a person for the sending of any specified message to that Singapore telephone number. (2) A person must not prohibit a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number from withdrawing the subscriber’s or user’s consent to the sending of a specified message to that Singapore telephone number, but this section does not affect any legal consequences arising from such withdrawal. (3) If a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number gives notice withdrawing consent given to a person for the sending of any specified message to that Singapore telephone number, the person must cease (and cause its agent to cease) sending any specified message to that Singapore telephone number after the expiry of the prescribed period. (4) For the purposes of this Part, a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number is deemed to have given his or her consent to a person to send a specified message to that Singapore telephone number if the subscriber or user —(a) consents to the sending of the specified message before 2 January 2014; and (b) that consent has not been withdrawn on or after 2 January 2014. (5) For the purposes of this Part, where a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number —(a) consents to a person sending a specified message to that Singapore telephone number before, on or after 2 January 2014; and (b) subsequently applies to add or adds that Singapore telephone number to the register on or after 2 January 2014, the application to add or the addition of that Singapore telephone number is not to be regarded as a withdrawal of the consent. (6) To avoid doubt, a subscriber of a Singapore telephone number may, at any time on or after 2 January 2014, withdraw any consent given for the sending of a specified message to that Singapore telephone number.
