Website that falsely claimed to have MFA links blocked by Singapore police
The websites of two other entities that described themselves as a Singapore-headquartered consultancy and think-tank were also no longer accessible.
Three websites that falsely claimed affiliation with Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) were inaccessible as of Thursday, August 20. The Singapore police ordered the blocking of Global Asia Think Tank's website, while two other sites - Great Vision consultancy and Afforesight - were believed to have been taken down by their owners.
The police acted after receiving a report from the MFA. Global Asia Think Tank claimed to be supported by the MFA and had ties with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and National University of Singapore's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies. However, the foreign affairs ministry and both schools denied any such connections.
