MOH makes police report after news of 728 Covid-19 cases on April 16 was leaked before announcement

SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health has made a police report after news that there were 728 new Covid-19 infections on Thursday (April 16) was leaked hours before MOH officially announced it.

The 728 figure had appeared in several messaging and social media platforms.

In response to TODAY's queries, an MOH spokesperson said: "The Ministry of Health is aware of the incident. We have made a police report and police investigations are ongoing."

The 728 figure was the highest single-day jump in infections here, the previous high being the 447 cases that were reported a day before. A total of 654 of these are work permit holders residing in dormitories.

The leak comes two weeks after a draft joint media statement by the Ministry of Social and Family Development and the Ministry of Education was leaked to the public.

The draft statement was to announce details of the implementation of full home-based learning by schools and institutes of higher learning, as well as the closure of preschools and student care centres.

A 37-year-old public servant and her 38-year-old husband have been arrested under the Official Secrets Act.

Remember this statement from Gan.........

Health Minister Gan Kim Yong says the government had to "balance" the interests of affected individuals and general public after discovering in 2016 the personal data of individuals diagnosed with HIV had been illegally accessed, and only publicly revealed the incident in January 2019.

Not so much as a blame game - the seniors need to cover their backsides.
Allowing info to leak shows they are not competent enough to control basic information.
So much for the SMART NATION

if election results can be counted so fast and released so early, why cannot release china virus early?

So fragile, their brittle hearts.

I bet there would be no police report made if the 'wrong prediction' happened to be a lower number.

Totalitarian shithole regimes love to crush down on 'rumours'. Refer to how that doctor died in Wuhan.

They want to the the first, the exclusive source to break the official news. An analogy would be like they want to have sex with a virgin.

Tech news (e.g. new smartphones) and insider celebrity-related news have leaked out with a high degree of accuracy, the MOH shouldn't think itself any special.

By the way, didn't Gan Kim Yong (MOH) leak out patient information on more than one occasion? In a normal country he would have been fired immediately. Tells you all you need to know.
