The facts
No resignation or plan to resign was announced. Answering a parliamentary question on 5 March 2026, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information said the video belonged to a large volume of AI-generated content with entirely made-up storylines about Singapore. It issued no POFMA direction because YouTube had removed most of the videos and accounts, though similar ones later resurfaced.
