MOM said SDP's article and two Facebook posts on Singapore's population policy contained a misleading graphic and false statement of facts. It said there was no rising trend of local PMET retrenchments, and that employment of local PMETs has instead risen steadily since 2015.
However, SDP stands by its posts and say they are accurate based on what data is made available, and took to the High Court in a chamber hearing to argue their case.
Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom after SDP made some headway on their arguments on Thursday (Jan 16) afternoon, SDP Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan demanded MOM release the data to prove the party's posts false.
"Our main point - the crux of the matter is that Singaporean PMET employment is coming down," he said.
"We communicated in chambers that MOM has this data. Just release this data and settle the matter once and for all. Produce the data. Show us."

He said MOM had indicated that it was "not willing" to release the data.
