  1. The need for Cyber Safety In a 2008 research commissioned by the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and conducted by Nanyang Technological University, it was found that although youths are very savvy with the usage of computers, their awareness of safe and responsible online practices is very low. The survey of over 1500 students showed that: a. 70% of students are on Social Network Sites; b. 70% of them did not know they could restrict applications from accessing their personal information; c. 50% accepted total strangers as friends; d. 25% were victims of cyber bullying more than once within that year e. 25% downloaded files from unknown people or websites f. 20% did not install computer protection programmes and had no idea what a firewall was.
