Photo Image from The Straits Times/ANN SINGAPORE, April 17 (dpa): Singapore s Health Ministry has invoked a fake news law to force an opposition party to publish corrections to Facebook posts implying coronavirus vaccinations can lead to stroke or death.
The ministry said earlier this week that it instructed the government office responsible for implementing the 2019 Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act to issue correction directions to the Singapore People s Party (SPP) and leader Goh Meng Seng.
The order covered Goh s and the SPP s posts implying that Covid-19 vaccination had caused or substantially contributed to a case of stroke and the separate death of an 81-year-old.
