“…In Thailand, political power resides with the bureaucracy, the military, the judiciary, and the monarchy (McCargo, 2005;Mérieau, 2016). Electoral democracy is constrained through a network of constitutional watchdog bodies (Glaser, 2015) and a permanent cycle of military coups (Ferrara, 2015). Thai courts also often defer to decisions and interpretations of executive and military authorities (Harding and Leyland, 2011: 189-215;Tonsakulrungruang, 2018).…”

This article analyses the practice of state-operated fact-checking websites in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. It is the first empirical study of governmental news corrections in Southeast Asia and covers more than 2,700 official posts published by Malaysia’s Sebenarnya.my, Singapore’s Factually, and Thailand’s Anti-Fake News Center. It finds that correction practices across the sites mainly function to sustain the salience of a supposedly constant and omnipresent fake news threat. Assuming an important role in strategic political communication, official fact checks accompany domestic fake news discourses that prepare the ground for restrictive legislation. At the same time, the analysis did not reveal any propagandistic abuse as the sites refrained from excessively defending governments and accusing political opponents. This finding is qualified regarding Singapore’s Factually that recently changed its approach towards targeting government critics personally.
