SINGAPORE – The police will not be taking any further action in relation to SPH Media’s alleged inflated circulation figures, after investigations found that there was no basis for any criminal charges.
In a statement on April 29, the police said that the investigation looked into the employees and directors of the media organisation, both former and current.
The offences that were being looked into included the falsification of accounts, as well as cheating.
“The investigations showed that there was no basis for bringing any criminal charges. The police, in consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, will be taking no further action,” said the statement.
The statement comes after the media company filed a police report on June 21, 2023, following recommendations made by the organisation’s audit and risk committee in its review of inflated circulation numbers.
