SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old woman was on Monday (May 6) charged over her involvement in a Wake Up Singapore article that spread a false story of miscarriage at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH).
Ma Su Nandar Htwe, 27, appeared in a district court and received one charge of defamation under the Penal Code.
The Myanmar national, who is a Singapore permanent resident, is accused of "making an imputation" about KKH on Mar 21, 2022 by sending Instagram messages to Wake Up Singapore that detailed a "fabricated account" of how she suffered a miscarriage.
She did this with the intention that Wake Up Singapore would publish the story, knowing that this would harm KKH's reputation, according to charge sheets.
