The New Paper (TNP), Singapore’s tabloid newspaper has apologised to the former editor of now-defunct social media website, The Real Singapore, Mr Robin Yang for publishing an article that contained statements which are defamatory.
TNP wrote in its apology published on its own newspaper, “In the March 4, 2015 issue of The New Paper, we published an article titled “They own posh unit, says S’porean student”. Mr Robin Yang Kaiheng has informed us that he regards as defamatory, some of the statements in the article that could be understood to mean that he is of dishonest character and/or conducts his business dealings in a manner that lacks probity.
We apologise for any embarrassment or distress caused by the publication of the statements.”
A photo of the apology was posted on Facebook by Takagi Ramen Stall on its Facebook page. Ai Takagi, one of the editors of TRS runs the ramen stall.

 
The post wrote, “The article is completely unfounded and was deliberately fabricated to tarnish his reputation.” and said that they have no knowledge of the student claimed by TNP.
In the article by TNP, it was alleged that a Singaporean student hired a private investigator to track Mr Yang due to an alleged business dispute. TNP then reported based on the student’s account that Mr Yang took money from his sister for a business investment and started avoiding the sister after a fallout.
The post further states that the three publications of the Singapore Press Holdings, TNP, AsiaOne and STOMP have admitted to fabricating false information in their article on Mr Yang.
It is said that SPH has given an undisclosed sum of money to Mr Yang as out of court settlement fee.

Sparkletots教职员成攻击对象 陈慧玲:互相指责非明智之举

自凤山Sparkletots幼儿园出现新感染群后,该校的教职员几乎就成为网络攻击对象,凤山国会议员陈慧玲强调,在对抗冠状病毒19战役中,互相指责并非明智之举。 陈慧玲昨天在脸书上帖文指出,自人民行动党社区基金会(PCF)旗下,坐落在勿洛北2巷的126座组屋的凤山Sparkletots幼儿园爆出首宗冠毒病例后,对教师、PCF和教育部的评论就很多。 她澄清,首名确诊的教师(第516病例)并没有出国旅行,而且家庭成员也没有被感染,在学校是更是没有出现任何症状。 她在今日(26日)的后续更新中也指出,自3月24日以来,该幼儿园中确诊的校长和教职员都在专用设施内进行隔离,就连和校长一起出席培训活动的教师也进行了居家隔离。 截至目前为止,已经有19起确诊病例和凤山Sparkletots幼儿园有关。 陈慧玲在帖文中指出,关闭幼儿园是为了遏止疫情在社区扩散,为了儿童和社区安全所作的正确决定。 她强调,所有PCF幼儿园在安全和卫生方便,必须采取必要的防疫措施,尤其是在和幼童互动交流上。 除了为幼儿园教职员辩护,她也强调,没有人会故意做出危及幼童安全的事项。“该幼儿园的父母现在应该很好地了解老师们,我相信他们已经看到教职员们如何照顾和养育这些孩童。” 陈慧玲重申,感染冠毒并非教师(第516病例)的过错,因为教师自己也受到感染,而且实在不知不觉中。 她鼓励家长们在接下来的数天关注儿童健康,而工作人员也会每天电联孩子两次。 帖文的最后,她呼吁人们继续努力防疫,“我们需要全力以赴。那些接获居家隔离和隔离禁令的人们,请为其他人着想,留在当地并负起社会责任”。
