Singapore implicated as piracy hub?

In this article that I have found online(http://news.cnet.com/Singapore-implicated-as-piracy-hub/2100-1026_3-991344.html), I got a pretty good idea how is the piracy in Singapore. As the article goes, Singapore is one of the lowest in Asia-Pacific but however, a significant amount of pirated products will passed through Singapore.

As the article state, Singapore have one of the busiest port South-East Asia and the piracy is a byproduct of it. However, I feel that this is a chance to reduce piracy as the products goes through Singapore, the government will be able to catch them easily.

But as a Singaporean, I think that the Government have done a good job in keeping the piracy level down. However, there is a rise in internet piracy and that will prove to be a more challenging problem for the government to solve.
