A correction direction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act has been issued to online publication Asia Sentinel, over statements made on the aftermath of an opinion piece by Mr Andy Wong Min Jun in Nikkei Asia.
The article was written by editor John Berthelsen, who interviewed Mr Wong, the author of a 2021 commentary criticising Singapore's handling of KTV lounges amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Another false statement was that the Singapore government, in the aftermath of Mr Wong's piece, had threatened to end Nikkei's business operations in the country, said MHA."Nikkei Asia published the Ministry of Home Affairs’ response as a letter to the editor on July 29, 2021. At no point did the Singapore government threaten to end Nikkei’s operations in Singapore," it said in the press release.
