Mothership’s press accreditation has been suspended after it broke an embargo related to Finance Minister Lawrence Wong’s Budget 2022 speech on Feb. 18.
The Ministry of Communications and Information has informed Mothership about the suspension. Mothership has until March 4 to appeal.
The embargoed information pertained to the news of the GST hike being delayed until 2023 and the infographic was published before Wong announced it in his speech.
In a statement, Mothership’s Managing Editor Martino Tan apologised for the mistake — “particularly to the public servants who have been working so hard to ensure the timely and accurate communication of government information.”
