Assam police have arrested this Muslim youth. Look at his vile and perverted act. A schoolgirl is climbing the stairs wearing a skirt over her uniform. He runs from behind her, lifts her skirt, and makes a video. During police interrogation, he said that his purpose in making the video was to blackmail the girl. Think about the kind of cruel zombies living among us, and you.

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review investigates a social-media claim that Singapore had newly made refusing vaccination a crime, with first-time offenders facing up to six months in prison and repeat offenders up to a year. The post also linked the supposed change to Bill Gates’s May 2025 visit. The review reports that the claim circulated in Japanese on May 13, 2025, by way of a repost of an English-language post that linked to a May 7 Slay News article. It concludes that the claim of a new law connected to Gates’s visit is false. (S1) To check the legal claim, the Japan Fact-Check Center says it examined Singapore’s official legislation site and the Infectious Diseases Act 1976. The review describes section 47 as allowing authorities to order vaccination or another preventive measure only when an outbreak is imminent in an area of Singapore and the measure is necessary or appropriate to protect public safety. It reports that penalties apply to violating such an order, but only under those limited circumstances—not as a general, newly introduced punishment for refusing vaccination. (S1) The review also cites Singapore’s Ministry of Health, which issued a statement on June 3, 2025, denying that Singapore had enacted any vaccination law following Gates’s recent visit. The distinction is central: the law already contained a conditional power to order vaccination, while the reviewed post suggested a new, broadly applicable criminalization tied to the visit. The review therefore finds the post misleading about both the law’s timing and its scope. (S1)
