SINGAPORE — Alternative news source Wake Up, Singapore has been issued a correction direction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) for publishing a woman's claims that she suffered a miscarriage after a four-hour wait at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH).
"These allegations are false," said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a media release just after midnight on Sunday (March 27).
"KKH had identified the patient in question, based on a screenshot of a hospital bill accompanying WUSG’s (Wake Up, Singapore) posts, which contained discrepancies with the patient’s account of events," said the ministry.
"Subsequent investigations by KKH have confirmed that the patient had been seen by a doctor within an hour of her arrival at KKH in February 2022, and did not suffer any miscarriage."
Wake Up, Singapore published the correction notices on Facebook and Instagram shortly after MOH issued its media release. The original posts have since been taken down.
