The article, published on 5 March, alleged, among other things, that Shanmugam was deliberately giving incomplete answers and claimed Singapore had not taken action against the two alleged Singaporeans due to its ties with Israel.

TOC editor Terry Xu and the publisher, Taiwan-based Miao Yi Infotech, were issued with a correction direction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA).

The correction direction requires Xu and Miao Yi Infotech to insert correction notices relating to the original articles and posts, with a link to the Government’s clarification.

They are also required to publish a correction notice in print in the Straits Times for “accountability and to correct the public record.”
