Singapore Government asked politician Brad Bowyer to correct the article posted on Facebook social networks in accordance with the law against fake news.

Today's Office of Protection from Misconduct and Online Manipulation (POFMA) today sent a request to Brad Bowyer, a member of the Singapore Progressive Party, forcing him to correct information about the independence of investment companies. state that he posted on his personal Facebook on November 13.

Bowyer issued a "false and falsified" statement accusing the government of influencing the decisions of state investment firm Temasek and GIC, according to a notice posted on POFMA's website.

Bowyer said he posted the notice with the link to POFMA's website on his Facebook post as requested from POFMA. "I have no problem complying with this request, because I feel it is fair to have a multi-dimensional view of information that is clear and accurate when necessary," Bowyer wrote in a statement posted on Facebook.

Bowyer, a British citizen of Singapore, joined many different parties in Singapore but never held a position in the government. He warned those who post comments online about politics and social issues that need to be careful in their statements.

A POFMA office spokesman said Bowyer asked to correct the information presented by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat. This is the first time the Singaporean government has applied anti-counterfeiting laws, effective October 2, which could punish offenders up to 10 years or one million Singapore dollars for technology companies.

Some critics argue that anti-fake laws may be used to limit freedom of speech and dissent in Singapore. However, the Singapore government thinks it is particularly vulnerable to fake news because it is a global financial center, multi-ethnic and religious, and the popularity of the Internet.
