I am from sunny Singapore and the info is correct.

I suppose yours is a brand new car bought not long ago? This web-site is sometimes a little slow in updating info. I faced the same problems when I first got my ride but after about 3 months, the info got corrected.

The only other way I can think of is to get the info from your dealer.

That VIN decoder is not updated and wont be correct for new cars

Your dealers parts department can type your VIN into their system and tell you which month the car was produced

You can get the exact production date in the secret menus. Do a search for "secret menu" on the forum then you will find how to get it.
Here is one of them :
