hohoho the independent SG websai made to take down articles by NTUC foodfare

[micromachine]

SINGAPORE — Socio-political website The Independent Singapore has retracted two articles that made allegations against food-centre operator NTUC Foodfare Co-operative, saying on Friday (March 1) it has since learnt that “some of the facts in the articles were not as what we were led to believe”.

On Nov 19 last year, it published an article alleging that an elderly hawker died of exhaustion after working 18-hour days to avoid hefty penalties from NTUC Foodfare.

Another article that ran on the same day alleged that the social enterprise had imposed a fine of S$3,500 on an “elderly and injured tenant” who had to close the stall for a few days because he was unable to work and could not find replacement workers.

Both articles have since been taken down from The Independent Singapore’s website and Facebook page.

In a retraction statement published on its website, The Independent Singapore said that it had clarified the facts with the food-centre operator and was “satisfied that NTUC Foodfare did not act in the manner that the articles implied”.

The Internet is loathed by censor-happy fascists. Why do you think China built the Great Firewall?

This is the PAP standard requirement-so what happened?
What is the meaning of " a settlement had been reached " -the public has a right to know .
