His recent posts, which were made on Facebook and LinkedIn on July 27, suggested that Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam and Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan had rented the black-and-white bungalows at 26 and 31 Ridout Road at below market rate.
The Ministry of Law (MinLaw) said on Wednesday night that Second Minister for Law Edwin Tong had issued the instruction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) to Mr Jeyaretnam, who is required to put up correction notices on both posts.
The notices must state that the posts contain a "false statement of fact" and provide a link to the Government's Factually article, which "lays out the facts and clarifications of the matter".
This is the second Pofma correction order that Mr Jeyaretnam has been issued in recent weeks.
