Chitchat Good PM Lee Sues Oppie Leong For Defamation! Guess How Much Damages Oppie Leong Must Pay?

Stirring again


Roy Ngern has some valid points :


It's an excuse. "Secondly, what exactly constitutes defamation? Leong did not write the article. Nor did he promote the article with any of his own comments or opinions. In other words, it was a "blank" share. Is this really defamation? After all, he was in no position to verify the truth of the article. He also complied with the take down notice. The only thing he did not do was issue a public apology. A refusal to apologise is not defamation in itself. Has everyone who "shared" the article been similarly prosecuted? Not that I am advocating lawsuits but if it is indeed the case that only Leong is being singled out - then we have to ask why this is the case? Last but not least, I note that the Straits Times (ST) has printed a rather misleading headline. It's headline said "PM Lee sues financial adviser Leong Sze Hian for defamation". This is not entirely true. The ST headline makes it seem like it was Leong who was behind the offending article when in reality, he merely shared it. Is this not misrepresentation on the part of ST? Further, this article is in the "premium" section of ST which means that the general public may not be able to read beyond the misleading headline. Does this not make Leong seem like he is guilty of something that he isn't? Could this be tantamount to defamation on the part of ST as well? Arguably if Leong had the deep pockets to pursue a lawsuit, he could as well?"

Roy after paying more than $100,000 to PM still doesn't understand defamation laws? That kind of money is enough to study for a law degree, let alone just one subject.

Each communication of a defamatory statement is considered an individual publication and, therefore, a separate cause of action for which the publisher can be held liable. This applies to a second communication of the same material to the same person.
Also falling under this rule are different editions of the same newspaper or magazine that run the same material, additional radio broadcasts of the same report or a second airing of a movie or news show. Any of these are considered a separate publication because they are intended to reach a new audience.

How can oppie Leong pay up? Is he going to crowd source the funds from daft sinkies again because of his meaningless move to publish a fake news post? These people just never learn

The case would be heard in Singapore. So naturally we need a lawyer who has a track record of winning in Singapore.

It's not easy to win a court case in Singapore, where the judiciary is internationally renowned for its independence and legal professionalism.
