Can someone explain this?!

12. On review, MICA has given notice to lift the exemption granted to the International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, Newsweek and TIME. These newspapers now regularly report on political issues in the region and Singapore , and have significant circulations in Singapore . Their exempt status should cease upon the expiry of their current permits given under Section 21 of the NPPA . They will thereafter be required to comply with conditions for the circulation of an offshore newspaper under Section 23 of the NPPA.
