POLICY WIRE — Singapore — A Singapore fitness instructor, Rasidah Caudal, has categorically denied rumors linking her to the resignation of former acting minister-in-charge of Muslim affairs, Faishal Ibrahim. Caudal refuted claims of inappropriate interactions with Ibrahim in an interview with This Week in Asia on Monday.

Caudal revealed that she has filed a complaint with Singapore’s Online Safety Commission, an agency that assists individuals in dealing with online harms such as doxxing and harassment. She also intends to lodge a police report in response to the allegations.

Faishal Ibrahim, 58, resigned from the cabinet last Monday. The specifics surrounding his resignation haven’t been publicly disclosed, but the rumors involving Caudal have circulated widely.

In her statement, Caudal emphasized, “I haven’t engaged in any inappropriate interactions with Mr. Faishal Ibrahim. The rumors are false and damaging.”

The Online Safety Commission confirmed receipt of Caudal’s complaint but declined to comment further on ongoing investigations. Local authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the police report Caudal plans to file.
