Ms Hany Soh asked the Minister for Education in view of SPH Media Group’s Report published on 16 June 2023 (a) whether the Ministry has conducted a review to ascertain whether schools have suffered any loss stemming from the arrangements to supply schools with SPH publications; and (b) if so, what is the nature and quantum of such losses.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: Our institutions paid SPH Media only for services rendered according to the subscription plans. They did not suffer any financial loss arising from the arrangements for SPH publications to be supplied.
