SINGAPORE: A woman who was cited in a Wake Up Singapore ( WUSG) report about a purported miscarriage that occurred at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) will be charged in court on Monday ( May 6 ) with defamation, the Singapore Police Force ( SPF ) said on Sunday.
The girl, now 27, will be the next man charged with libel in relation to the article. WUSG’s founder and executive Ariffin Iskandar Sha Ali Akbar was  , charged next month with the same offence , over its publication.
The other news source published the article” The child is probably dead – Woman shares a terrible account of her pregnancy at KKH A&, E” in March 2022.
After a four-hour rush at the hospital on February 28, 2022, in which case she was left unattended, it was claimed that mismanagement by KKH  led to the person becoming pregnant.
Following the person’s say, KKH stated that there were no files of such an event occurring at the hospital , and subsequently , filed a police report.
The person then apologized to WUSG, who subsequently learned that her assertions were unfounded.
The policeman consulted the Attorney-General’s Chambers and were authorized to conduct an investigation after receiving the police statement from KKH, according to a media release from SPF.
” The 27-year-old woman allegedly sent messages from her Instagram profile to the Instagram accounts of WUSG, explaining how she had a pregnancy at KKH,” according to studies. The 27-year-old woman’s claims were unfounded, according to additional investigations.
For submitting the false statements, WUSG was issued a adjustment direction , under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act.
Within an hour of the woman’s arrival at the hospital, the Ministry of Health ( MOH) claimed at the time that KKH had located the patient and had identified her. MOH also said that she “did not experience any pregnancy”.
Shortly after, WUSG issued correctional notices.
Ariffin’s event may return to court on May 24.
Those found innocent of slander face up to two years in prison, a great, or both.
