Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeSINGAPORE, Dec 17 — The Online Citizen has been ordered by Singapore ’s Ministry of Home Affairs to issue a correction notice on an article published on November 22, which contained false statements regarding Singapore ’s death penalty .
“TOC’s article... alleges that the state suppresses dissenting views on the death penalty through Pofma Correction Directions. This is false,” the ministry said in a statement sighted by Channel News Asia today. It explained that such directions require the government’s position to be presented alongside the original post, allowing the public to view both and form their own conclusions, rather than suppressing dissent.
The ministry rebutted, stating, “It is misleading for the author to omit relevant facts, and selectively quote the minister, to reach the position that the minister had taken contradictory positions about Singapore’s anti-drug policies.”
