SINGAPORE - Reform Party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam has been ordered to put up corrections under the law against fake news, over false statements he made about Singapore’s reserves, healthcare spending, and the rental of two black and white bungalows by two ministers.
The MOF said it is incorrect to state that most of the NIRC has been transferred into long term funds, as “no proportion of the NIRC is earmarked for specific spending items, or for transfer into any specific funds”.The MOF also said it is false to claim that moneys set aside in the long term funds do not contribute to “actual spending”, since the moneys do contribute to the disbursements from such funds.
Also, the valuer did not know Mr Shanmugam was the prospective tenant for 26 Ridout Road at the time the valuation was done, and had only learnt his identity after the matter was reported in the media, said MOF. The MOF said Mr Jeyaretnam had made similar false statements of fact about the matter in earlier publications “that have already been clarified”.
