Overview
- The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) directed Meta to block Facebook posts by two Malaysian PAS politicians and a former Singaporean now Australian citizen for attempting to influence GE2025 along religious lines.
- The targeted posts, deemed to undermine social cohesion, criticized the Singapore government’s handling of religious issues and called for votes based on racial and religious identity.
- The Workers' Party (WP) denied making promises to religious teacher Noor Deros or any individual in exchange for political support, reaffirming its commitment to secular and inclusive politics.
- Opposition parties, including SDP, PSP, and NSP, rejected foreign interference and emphasized that only Singaporeans should determine the nation’s political future.
- Singapore’s government reiterated that religion and politics must remain separate to preserve the country’s secular and multiracial harmony.
