SINGAPORE: The Online Safety Commission (OSC) has taken action against a TikTok post that linked a woman to the circumstances surrounding Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim’s resignation from politics, after determining that online harmful activity had taken place.
The post was no longer available as of Tuesday evening (Jul 28), the commission said in response to CNA queries on Wednesday.
The woman at the centre of the online claims said in an Instagram post earlier this week that she had been wrongly identified and linked to the case. Assoc Prof Faishal, who had been acting minister-in-charge of Muslim affairs and senior minister of state for home affairs, resigned on Jul 20 over his online interactions with a woman which were deemed to have fallen short of standards required of a political office holder.
