The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) has responded to allegations by activist Han Hui Hui that she was “separated” from her three children and that they fell ill while under the authorities’ care.
Ms Han was a candidate in the 2025 general election, contesting for Tanjong Pagar GRC with the People’s Alliance for Reform (PAR). She is also a human rights fellow at a foreign university, The Straits Times reported.
Posted two-hour live stream at hospital
In a two-hour Facebook live stream on Feb 28, the mother of three could be seen standing in the lobby of KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, asking hospital staff if she could visit her children’s ward.
“Singapore Ministry of Social and Family Development took Singaporean Han Hui Hui’s children (3, 5, and 6 years old) away on 15 Feb 2026,” the caption read. “Today (28 Feb 2026) I have just been informed by the hospital that my children are unwell, vomiting, high fever and are now on drips in the hospital.”
The receptionist denies her entry and walks away to seek assistance from other staff upon realising Ms Han is recording their interaction. Throughout the live stream, Ms Han remains in the lobby, repeating that she wants to visit her children and check on their well-being.
Ms Han claims her children were “perfectly happy and healthy” before the separation and said that they are now “sad, depressed, and hiding in a corner, not eating their food”.
About 37 minutes into the live stream, security officers can be seen at the hospital premises, presumably after hospital staff called for assistance. Even though the officers do not interact with Ms Han, she stands nearby and records them while repeating her message.
The video ends with a security officer rejecting Ms Han’s request to enter her children’s ward.
The live stream has garnered over 612,000 views, 1,900 likes, and 1,300 comments, with many netizens saying MSF must have had reasons for its actions.
Multiple reports of violence in Ms Han’s household: police
In response to Stomp’s queries, MSF and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) issued a joint statement detailing the timeline of the events leading up to the live stream on Feb 28.
