The Singapore Law Minister has come out and said that parody and satire don't fall under the "fake news" law [1].
Note, however, that this particular law was rushed through parliament despite much criticism. Ministers are empowered to issue correction orders (which must be complied with immediately), and affected parties (which may include parody and satire) are required to spend time and money to go through the court system to dispute the order.
