71 Clause 11 provides for the making of a Correction Direction, which is a direction to the communicator of the false statement to communicate in Singapore a correction notice consisting of one or both of the following: (a) a notice that the statement communicated is false; (b) a specified statement of fact or a specified location where such statement may be found, or both. A Correction Direction may require the communicator to place the correction notice in the specified proximity to every copy of the false statement of fact, or a substantially similar statement, communicated in Singapore by the person, and to publish the notice in a Singapore newspaper or other publication. Clause 12 provides for the making of a Stop Communication Direction, which is a direction to the communicator of the false statement to stop communicating it in Singapore. The communicator may also be required to stop communicating a substantially similar statement in Singapore. A Stop Communication Direction may, in addition, require the communicator to put up a correction notice. Clause 13 sets out the provisions that apply to all Part 3 Directions.

It must identify the false statement of fact in sufficient detail. It must comply with any requirement prescribed by regulations. Finally, it remains in effect until it expires (if a date of expiry is specified), or it is set aside or cancelled. Clause 14 provides for the service of a Part 3 Direction. It may be served on the person to whom it is issued by a prescribed means or on a person appointed to accept service on the first person’s behalf. Clause 15 provides that non-compliance with a Part 3 Direction is an offence. It is not a defence to a charge that — (a) the person issued the Direction has a duty under any law, contract or rule of professional conduct that prevents the person from complying with it or that restricts the person in such compliance; or (b) the person has applied for the variation or cancellation of the Direction or has appealed to the High Court against the Direction. However, the clause confers immunity on the person against liability for doing or omitting to do any act with reasonable care and in good faith for the purpose of complying with the Direction. Clause 16 enables the Minister to direct the IMDA to order an internet access service provider to take steps to disable access by end-users in Singapore to an online location. The Minister may so direct if — (a) a Part 3 Direction is not complied with;
