Gutzy Asia barred from receiving financial benefit under Pofma

SINGAPORE - Media portal Gutzy Asia and its social media pages on Facebook and X, formerly known as Twitter, have been designated as Declared Online Locations under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act , after its online accounts were issued three Pofma correction directions within six months.

During this period, Gutzy Asia’s website, Facebook page and X account page are each required to carry a notice stating that they have been declared as DOLs. This is to warn visitors that it has a history of communicating falsehoods on these online locations, and to advise them to fact-check the information published.

Individuals and companies must also not provide financial support to the DOLs if they know or believe that this would support, help or promote the communication of falsehoods in Singapore. There are nine other DOLs in effect from July 22, 2023 till Dec 11, 2025. They are Reform Party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam’s Facebook page, Instagram page, LinkedIn page and X account page; The Ricebowl Singapore website; and The Online Citizen Asia’s website, Facebook page, LinkedIn page and X account page.
