Abstract:
This article examines the misinformation on the COVID-19 pandemic in social media and
electronic media, as well as whether the existing legal administration and laws in
Bangladesh, Singapore, and Vietnam are adequate to combat the infodemic. People who
believe misinformation and fake news about Coronavirus, prevention, and treatment may
put their lives in danger. False information about Coronavirus has spread throughout the
world, not just in South and Southeast Asian countries, causing widespread concern in
the global healthcare community. We employed a qualitative approach as well as the case
study analysis method. Case studies were conducted using news reports and news
channels. We examined the legal provisions of the People's Republic of Bangladesh's
Constitution, as well as factual analyses of Singapore and Vietnam. We discovered the
impact of misinformation dissemination through social and electronic media, which is
prevalent not only among rural Bangladeshis but also in almost all classes in Singapore
and Vietnam, and how such influence can be detrimental to the interests of Bangladesh,
Vietnam, and Singapore.
