Statement on Misinformation Circulating on Social Media

The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) is aware of several social media posts circulating online that Singapore has launched the world’s first floating prison.

2.                   This is untrue. Neither have we had any discussions or plans for such, nor is there a need.

3.                   We urge members of the public not to spread misinformation, nor to be taken in by such wild stories, and refer instead to SPS’s website and social media platforms for official information.
