Judge denies SDP application for POFMA case to be heard in open court Singapore

SINGAPORE — The Singapore Democratic Party’s application to have its case against Manpower Minister Josephine Teo heard in open court, over the invocation of a controversial anti-fake news law, has been denied.

Asked how he felt about the decision, SDP chief Chee Soon Juan said,"It's very disappointing, but we are where we are. We have to go back in right now for our case." The posts on SDP’s Facebook page, dated 30 November and 2 December last year, had contained links to the article, published on 8 June last year, which “contains a false statement of fact”, said MOM, pertaining to the party’s allegation of a rising trend of local PMET unemployment.
