Hong Kong (CNN Business) Singapore just showed the world how it plans to use a controversial new law to tackle what it deems fake news — and critics say it's just what they expected would happen. One offending item was a Facebook post by an opposition politician that questioned the governance of the city-state's sovereign wealth funds and some of their investment decisions. In another Facebook post, Bowyer said he had no problems following the law, and said he thought it was fair to have both sides of an argument available for review. The Singapore government called the post "false and baseless," adding that no one had been arrested. Editor Alex Tan said in a subsequent Facebook post that his publication is based in Australia and he is not bound by foreign government orders.
