Blogger Roy Ngerng who is currently involved in a defamation law suit against Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, is currently overseas attending a conference on media and internet freedom in Kuala Lumpur.
It is understood that the police also want to question Roy about the recent CPF protest which clashed with the YMCA event at Hong Lim Park.
Mr Ngerng updated the public on his whereabouts through his Facebook page explaining that he was just at a conference and will be back.
However, Straits Times published an article implying that Roy was rumoured to have fled the country. They headlined it “Blogger Roy Ngerng, refuting reports he has fled S'pore, says he is in Malaysia for a conference”.
In fact, there have not been any reports to imply that Roy had fled the country. It is unknown where Straits Times came up with such a rumour.

Roy had explained that it was true that he was out of the country but he has not “absconded from Singapore”. However, he was simply proactively explaining his whereabouts and there were no “reports he has fled Singapore” at all.
While the article addressed the fact that Roy hadn’t fled Singapore, it is strange that they would imply that there were such reports in the first place.
Is this another attempt to make the public feel like Roy is untrustworthy and had been trying to run away?
Roy said on his facebook post that he was unsure of what would happen when he returned to Singapore. He wrote "I might be arrested at the airport. Or I might be hauled for investigations. I am not sure what will happen. But I will be brave.''
