Woman and her husband to be charged under OSA over leak of MOE, MSF statement on COVID-19 school closures​


SINGAPORE: A 38-year-old woman and her husband will be charged under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) on Wednesday (Apr 21) over the leak of a draft media statement containing information on school closures during Singapore's COVID-19 "circuit breaker" last year.

The woman was a public servant and an authorised recipient of the media statement at the time of the offence, said the Singapore Police Force (SPF) in a news release.

On Apr 3 last year, the police received a report that a draft joint media statement by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and Ministry of Education (MOE) had been leaked to the public before it was officially released.

The draft statement contained details of the implementation of full home-based learning by schools and institutes of higher learning, as well as the closure of pre-schools and student care centres.

Investigations revealed that the woman allegedly took a photo of the statement on her computer screen and shared the image with her husband via WhatsApp on Apr 3 at about 9am.​


Her husband, who was not an authorised recipient of the statement, allegedly shared the image with his friends.

"The image thus became publicly available before the information was officially released," said SPF.

The woman also allegedly took photos of a list of essential services that would continue operating during the circuit breaker and sent them to her husband at his request.

Both will be charged for offences of wrongful communication of information under the Official Secrets Act.

The man, 39, will also be charged for soliciting the wrongful communication of information under the Official Secrets Act.

If found guilty of wrongful communication of information under the Official Secrets Act, they could be jailed for up to two years and fined up to S$2,000.

"Sixteen others who had wrongfully received and further communicated the information downstream will be administered with written advisories for wrongful communication of information under the Official Secrets Act," said SPF.

"Unauthorised recipients should delete and not further circulate any confidential information received, as they may otherwise be similarly liable under the Official Secrets Act."

Last week, the former deputy lead of the Health Ministry's data unit was charged under the OSA for leaking Singapore's daily COVID-19 case numbers on 22 occasions last year.​


Zhao Zheng, 36, allegedly sent the information to a WeChat group with 49 other members, before the ministry had officially released the figures.

She is also accused of obtaining confidential details of a COVID-19 case without authorisation and giving the information to co-accused Tang Lin.

Another Singapore public servant nabbed for leaking pandemic curbs on WhatsApp​


An unidentified public servant has been arrested for allegedly leaking details about the suspension of activities for youngsters under Covid-19 safe management measures before they were officially released publicly, the Straits Times is reporting.

The 32-year-old man was arrested on May 19 for wrongful communication of information under the Official Secrets Act (OSA), the police said in a statement on Sunday.


The statement said they received a report on May 18 that information regarding the suspension of sport, physical activity classes and programmes for children and youth aged 18 and below from May 19 to June 13 had been leaked to the public.

The information was circulating via WhatsApp before Sport Singapore’s official announcement on May 18.

The suspect, who was a public servant and an authorised recipient of the safe management measures for sport and physical activities, allegedly shared the information via the messaging app on May 16 with members of a private chat group who were not authorised to receive it.

Group members then shared the information with others, resulting in a much wider circulation.

Since the start of the pandemic, at least six other people have been charged under the OSA for unauthorised or wrongful communication of information, says CNA.

In May, a Housing and Development Board officer was one of two men charged over unauthorised communication of information about flat inspections.

Kalayarasan Karuppaya, a higher estate executive with HDB at the time of the offences, had allegedly leaked information on HDB’s impending inspections of a flat to a tenant of the unit three times in 2019.

Chua Wee Lin, at the time deputy director at the National Library Board’s property and facilities management department, was also charged in May with sending information about Phase 2 reopening measures to a WhatsApp chat group with 18 other members.

In April, a married couple was charged with leaking an unreleased statement about school closures during the “circuit breaker” last year.

That same month, Zhao Zheng, then deputy lead of the health ministry’s Data Management Unit, faced more than 20 charges after she allegedly leaked daily Covid-19 case numbers to a private WhatsApp group chat before they were officially released.

Those found guilty of wrongful communication of information under the OSA face a fine of up to S$2,000 and up to two years’ jail.

The police said unauthorised recipients should delete and not further circulate any confidential information received, as they may otherwise be similarly liable under the OSA.

Looks like leakage of confidential information is becoming quite common. Not a good reflection of SG civil servants. :coffee:

They should leak on a more secure place... avoid Facebook, Whatsapp (owned by Facebook), Twitter etc. Facebook has demonstrated that it is willing to play ball with the PAP regime regarding POFMA, that should tell you much.

Looks like PAP do not want to embarrass their civil servants by revealing their sentences and punishment. :unsure:

Instead of just sentencing the offenders, PAP should consider implementing some rules for information protection. :coffee:

Perhaps the Civil Service should include such clauses in their employment contract, for example, termination if they leak confidential information. :coffee:
