* when questioned in detail by MPs in parliament, [[Teo Chee Hean]] acknowledged that miscommunication between ACRA and MDDI was a key factor in the incident, and that officers and senior management involved will face a range of measures, including counselling, retraining, and reductions in their performance grade and performance-based payments. | * when questioned in detail by MPs in parliament, [[Teo Chee Hean]] acknowledged that miscommunication between ACRA and MDDI was a key factor in the incident, and that officers and senior management involved will face a range of measures, including counselling, retraining, and reductions in their performance grade and performance-based payments. | ||

==="KPIs not sole measure of performance" comment=== | |||
* Mar 2025 - SPH Media Trust (SMT) failed to meet several key performance indicators (KPIs) for FY2024/2025 | |||
* previously government had earmarked S$260 million for SPH Media Trust in last year’s budget and set specific KPIs to assess its performance | |||
* as SMT did not meet all its targets related to digital reach, youth engagement, vernacular reach, and average time spent on its platforms. As a result, it will not receive the full committed funding but will receive pro-rated incentives | |||
* MP [[Pritam Singh]] asked for clarity on how the ministry set these KPIs and SMT's performance, as well as data on print and digital subscriptions. He also questioned the transparency in the presentation of government subsidies for SMT and that there should be a clearer way for the public to track these funds, given the substantial size of the subsidy. | |||
* she then defended the government’s approach, stating that KPIs are not the sole measure of success. | |||
** Quote: "Despite not meeting all their KPIs last year, SPH Media did not ask to lower their targets. They are determined to maintain their reach and relevance with Singaporeans. In 2024, they maintained their strong overall reach at 70% of Singapore’s resident population, although youth and vernacular reach dipped. In line with the funding agreement, MDDI will pro-rate and award the Performance-Linked Incentives accordingly." | |||
