In March, both locations were issued two POFMA correction directions each for falsehoods.

On Mar 23, TOC was issued one after it published an article about the re-appointment of Attorney-General Lucien Wong. The article alleged that there was no information that Mr Wong had recused himself from acting on matters relating to the acquisition of 38 Oxley Road, the home of Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
