1. The Ministry of Home Affairs is aware of the following publications by the Transformative Justice Collective (“TJC”) which contain a false statement regarding the recent execution of three prisoners awaiting capital punishment:
(a) TJC’s Instagram post on 20 November 2024, with Kokila Annamalai and Rocky Howe added as collaborators; and
(b) TJC’s Facebook, TikTok and X posts on 20 November 2024.
2. The Minister for Digital Development and Information and Second Minister for Home Affairs has instructed the POFMA Office to issue a POFMA Correction Direction to TJC’s Facebook, Instagram and X posts, and a Targeted Correction Direction to be issued to TikTok Pte Ltd.
3. The Correction Direction requires TJC to insert a Correction Notice against the original posts, with a link to the Government’s clarification. TikTok will also be required to communicate a Correction Notice to all end-users in Singapore that had accessed the TikTok post. We advise members of the public not to speculate and/or spread unverified rumours.
