Protection from Harassment Act (POHA)—

Cyberbullying, Online Harassment, Doxxing and Stalking

Harassment can happen to anyone—whether at home, at work, online, or in public. If you are facing stalking, cyberbullying, threatening messages, or repeated unwanted contact, you may be protected under Singapore’s Protection from Harassment Act (POHA).

At Ray Louis Law, we have successfully represented clients in harassment, doxxing, and false statement cases. Our lawyers provide sound advice and legal representation to help you apply for protection orders, take civil action, and seek redress under the law.

What is the Protection from Harassment Act?

The Protection from Harassment Act 2014 is a Singapore law that safeguards individuals from behaviour that causes alarm, distress, or harassment. POHA covers both online and offline conduct, including:

• Cyberbullying and online harassment

• Doxxing (unauthorised publication of personal information)

• Stalking or repeated unwanted contact

• False statements that damage your reputation

• Threats, intimidation, or abusive communication

Types of Protection Orders Available

If you are a victim of harassment, you may apply for the following:

• Protection Order (PO): To stop ongoing or future harassment.

• Expedited Protection Order (EPO): For urgent protection where there is imminent danger.

• Non-Publication Order: To remove or prohibit the spread of harassing content online.

• Stop Publication Order: To prevent the continuation or republication of false statements.
