No leeway for falsehoods


THE Ministry of Health (MOH) has invoked Singapore’s fake news law against a local website for false claims about the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines, and the safety and efficacy of ivermectin in preventing and treating Covid-19.

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung instructed the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) Office to issue a correction direction to the Truth Warriors website, MOH said on Sunday.
