Baseless allegations made against the Singapore authorities by Mikhy Farrera Brochez, the American at the centre of the HIV Registry data leak, show him to be a pathological liar, the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Prison Service said in a statement yesterday. They were rebutting claims he madeon Facebook over his role in the data leak, his HIV-positive status and his time in jail.

In a separate statement, the Ministry of Health said it would be working with the police on appropriate actions over Brochez's threat to reveal the confidential data in future.
