Jacqueline Poh runs JTC, which is Singapore's $40B real estate arm.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge said mostly true; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
What would count as true or false
True: as of 2025-10-12, Jacqueline Poh leads JTC Corporation (CEO or equivalent), and JTC is Singapore's statutory board for industrial real estate with assets of about S$40B or US$40B (within about ±25%). Mostly true: she leads JTC but the asset figure is off by more than 25% and within 50%, or the currency is unclear. Mostly false: she holds a senior role at JTC but does not run it, or the figure is badly off. False: she does not run JTC, or JTC is not a Singapore real estate body.

“Set up in 1968, JTC is the lead government agency responsible for the development of industrial infrastructure to support and catalyse the growth of industries and enterprises in Singapore.”
Reasoning
JTC's own announcement (E1) and The Business Times (E2) report that Jacqueline Poh was to become JTC's CEO from 1 April 2025, which is before the claim date. JTC's financial report (E3) gives total Group assets of $39.2 billion as at 31 March 2025, which is within the criteria's range of about S$40B. The Singapore Government Directory (E4) lists JTC as a statutory board and the lead government agency for industrial infrastructure. Nothing in the evidence suggests she had left the role by 12 October 2025.
