COMPASS and MRSS are Collective Management Organisations administering different rights.

Since 1987, COMPASS has been managing the Public Performance Rights and Reproduction Rights in musical works. COMPASS has also been managing the Public Communication Rights in musical works since it was first introduced in the Copyright Act in 2005. We represent Composers, Authors and Music Publishers for their Copyrights.

In November 2021, a new right was introduced in the Copyright Act 2021. The Music Rights (Singapore) Public Limited (MRSS) manages the Right to be paid Equitable Remuneration for public performance of Sound Recordings. It represents Record Labels.
