A separate but equally significant example is the series of POFMA orders issued against the Transformative Justice Collective (TJC), a civil society group campaigning against the death penalty in Singapore. Following multiple POFMA correction orders in 2024, TJC was declared a DOL at the end of that year. In January 2025, the group decided to suspend operations of its website and social media accounts until December 2026, when its DOL status will expire372. According to TJC, this decision was taken to protect its members and supporters from legal repercussions. POFMA correction orders have also been issued against outlets based outside of Singapore. In 2025, MalaysiaNow, a Malaysian independent outlet, received a POFMA directive over its report on the treatment of Malaysian convicted drug trafficker Pannir Selvam Pranthaman, who was controversially executed in Singapore on October 8, 2025373, 374. Because the outlet refused to comply with the order to “correct” its report375, the government subsequently blocked access to the website in Singapore376. Also in 2025, the Australia-based East Asia Forum was issued a POFMA order over its article, “Singapore’s New Prime Minister Entangled in Old Politics.”377 The government subsequently blocked access to the East Asia Forum website in Singapore, citing non-compliance with the order378. The website had previously been blocked in 2023 under POFMA, but was later unblocked after the removal of the flagged article379, 380. “Transformative Justice Collective to Cease Website and Social Media Operations Until Dec 2026.” The Online Citizen, 21 Jan. 2025, www.theonlinecitizen.com/2025/01/21/transformative-justicecollective-to-cease-website-and-social-media-operations-until-dec-2026. 373.
