Actually I've read his full reply and I find its a good proposal, he has been doing volunteer work for homes and etc throughout the years
The ministers have responded that they will not pursue the matter any further.
I do want to say that Sng's post was so long but only the smallest part is about apologizing. Yes, it is commendable that he has done a lot of volunteering work, but the apology doesn't sound sincere at all.
Mild tones of trying to further stir and blame the politicians for the rising costs/rental, and trying to take a high moral ground saying they should walk the ground with him to see the folks who fell trhough the cracks.
Can see that this guy is damn manipulative.
I like the top reply, quote:
Let’s cut through the theatrics.
You’ve published defamatory posts targeting ministers and public officials — statements that were so clearly false you had to take them down and issue public apologies. And now, instead of facing the consequences squarely, you’re putting on a public display of hardship and moral righteousness, as though that somehow excuses your actions.
Let’s be very clear:
Doing community work does not give you a free pass to defame others.
It doesn’t entitle you to bend legal consequences to suit your financial situation. And it certainly doesn’t absolve you of accountability — especially when the defamatory content involved national leaders and misled the public.
This attempt to reframe the narrative — from a person who defamed others to a misunderstood underdog doing good for society — is not only manipulative, it’s insulting to the many Singaporeans who face hardship quietly, without slandering others or seeking public sympathy when held to account.
You claim to take responsibility seriously. But now, when it’s time to take actual responsibility — monetary damages, as legally demanded — you want to offer charity work instead? That’s not accountability. That’s avoidance dressed up as virtue.
Let’s not forget:
- You knew what you posted was inflammatory.
- You knew it would gain traction online.
And now that it has legal consequences, you’re suddenly pivoting to poverty, pain, and public service.
This isn’t about silencing you. It’s about the fact that you knowingly spread falsehoods and caused reputational harm. If you're as principled as you claim to be, then follow the same rule of law you often quote — pay what is due, borrow what you must, or declare bankruptcy like everyone else would have to.
Don’t lecture us about "a Singapore that works from the ground up" when you’ve used your platform to divide, defame, and now dodge.
Singapore doesn’t need this brand of faux martyrdom.
What we need are citizens who uplift without tearing others down, who speak truth without hiding behind tears when challenged, and who live with integrity both in action and in consequence.
