SINGAPORE – A 59-year-old man is slated to be charged on March 11 over four TikTok videos that allegedly promoted ill will between racial groups and also contained falsehoods, including the statement that the Government can trace votes in elections to penalise voters.
The videos were posted on TikTok in 2023 and 2025, said the police and POFMA Office, which administers the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA), in a joint statement on March 10.
In a TikTok video posted on his account on Aug 26, 2025, the man made remarks that allegedly promoted ill will between the Chinese community and other racial groups in Singapore, said the statement.
“The video also stated that the Government is using its money and resources to nurture leaders only from the Chinese race, which is false,” it added.
The man also made statements that were criminally defamatory of public officials in a separate video in 2023.
