PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday defended Singapore's proposed legislation targeting online falsehoods, saying that it"works for Singapore".

"I'm not surprised that Reporters without Borders criticises it; they criticise many things about Singapore's media management," said Mr Lee, in response to a question on the Bill during the joint press conference held after the Leaders' Retreat hosted by Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad. "Singapore is not the only one who has taken legislating on this issue; the French have done so, the Germans have done so, the Australians have just done something similar and very draconian," he said.
