In a Facebook post on Oct 30, Mr Heng said he had recently noticed a few fake Facebook profiles purporting to be him, warning members of the public against responding to their friend requests, following them and giving them personal information.
Mr Heng pointed out that his official Facebook and Instagram accounts have a blue checkmark, indicating that these are verified accounts. His handle is @hengsweekeat, with no spaces or numbers. Other prominent figures in Singapore have also had fake accounts impersonating them, including Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, Senior Minister of State for Manpower and Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Koh Poh Koon, Minister of State for Home Affairs and Social and Family Development Sun Xueling and Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC MP Saktiandi Supaat.
