The 27-year-old Singapore permanent resident’s alleged ordeal was reported by the alternative news website in March 2022, in an article titled “The baby is probably dead – Woman shares a harrowing account of her miscarriage at KKH A&E”. The fabricated story had stated that on Feb 28, 2022, the woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant and was Covid-19 positive, arrived at KKH to seek treatment after experiencing severe abdominal pain at 2pm.

The woman claimed she saw the doctor only at 6pm after a four-hour wait, and was told she had lost her foetus. She also alleged that her foetus was discarded as medical waste.
