Still standing: Liu’s halal-certified yong tau foo stall Green Delights was hit by fake news alleging that it sold a pork dish. — The Straits Times/Asia News NetworkMay Liu’s halal-certified yong tau foo stall at Westgate mall was open for just six months when it was rocked by fake news alleging that it sold a pork dish.
The post went viral on social media sites and on WhatsApp last year, with some netizens declaring a boycott of the stall, Green Delights, and urging others to do the same. A proposed law would give the government powers to act against online falsehoods. Proposed changes to the Protection from Harassment Act would also give individuals and entities more avenues of help to rectify false statements about themselves.
“I was really upset when I heard the fake news about my stall. We’ve been selling halal-certified food for a while now, and we’ve always done things the right way and followed protocol. How could they just come out and wrongly accuse us?”
Fake news can't be stop... Believe it can be stopped.. It's all about Idiots who believes without research..n smart person who research..As Humans it's about choices... Idiots or Smarts Humans..
Wasn't fake news called rumours about 20 years ago? Rumours spread within circles but fake news has the power of socmed which spreads this by multiples. Sadly people will always have the capacity to use their imagination for good or for evil!
