Asia Sentinel issued POFMA order over statements on Lee Hsien Yang, M Ravi among others

0

On Mr Ravi’s suspension, which was applied in March, MHA said this was because the Court of Three Judges had found that his various allegations against the Attorney-General, Deputy Attorney-General, prosecutors and the Law Society, had “recklessly and baselessly undermined” the pillars of Singapore’s legal system.

On Mr Lee Hsien Yang and his wife, the ministry said the pair left Singapore after the police engaged them for an investigation. 

They had declined to attend a police interview in July 2022 relating to lying in judicial proceedings about the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s will. 

This police investigation has nothing to do with “warring with Lee Hsien Loong”, said MHA. 

A check by CNA showed that as of 11.30pm on Friday, Asia Sentinel had yet to put up a correction notice.

FINED OVER OBSCENE MATERIAL

Wong’s Nikkei piece in 2021 drew a point-by-point rebuttal from MHA then, with Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam later weighing in days later in a Facebook post and calling it “little more than a work of fiction”.

The minister added that it contained “several falsehoods” about the government’s approach towards KTV operations and immigration policies. 

Mr Shanmugam also then mentioned that Wong was “ironically” charged for possessing obscene material, and questioned if the criminal investigation against him was the reason for his diatribe based on falsehoods.

In April last year, Wong was fined S$42,000 for possessing more than 4,200 obscene videos and photos. 

He was a member of a Telegram chat group linked to Sammy Boy Forum, a sexually explicit local forum. Investigations against him and others started in November 2019.

Four members of that group, including Wong, were charged and sentenced for possessing obscene material.
