SINGAPORE - The Attorney-General's Chambers has requested a further hearing in the first court challenge against fake news law corrections, to deal with what it called deliberate mischaracterisations of its arguments by the Singapore Democratic Party .
In a letter to the High Court on Monday , the AGC took issue with two articles about the court proceedings posted on the SDP website last week. The SDP article was"calculated to embarrass the minister and falsely portray Pofma in a negative light", and was also posted after the first day of the hearing last Thursday, before the AGC had the opportunity to make its arguments in court, the AGC said.
In doing so, the SDP cited a Straits Times article quoting Deputy A-G Hri Kumar Nair, but omitted"critical parts" of what Mr Nair had told reporters after the hearing, the AGC added.
