Tang Liang Hong is a senior lawyer and politician from Singapore. He was born in 1935 to parents who came from agricultural backgrounds. He speaks three local languages.
In the 1997 elections in Singapore, Tang ran as a candidate for the Workers' Party in the Cheng San GRC (group representation constituency).
After the election, Tang Liang Hong faced thirteen defamation suits from PAP Ministers and Members of Parliament (MPs) - including the Senior Minister, the Prime Minister, and his two deputies. It has been alleged that the suits were filed because Tang called the PAP ministers and MPs liars when they had labelled him anti-Christian, a Chinese chauvinist, and a dangerous man. Thirteen judgments were entered against him for defamation.
Tang left Singapore for Johor after receiving death threat letters. He subsequently also faced charges from the Inland Revenue Department for evading taxes. His wife's passport was impounded but later released. Eventually, Tang found refuge in Australia, where he was reunited with his wife.
After Tang left Singapore, the plaintiffs obtained the Mareva injunction against him to restrain him from disposing of assets and to require him to disclose the whereabouts of his assets. When Tang failed to file an affidavit disclosing his assets, the plaintiffs obtained default judgements against Tang in all their suits. Damages were assessed by a judge of the High Court at a total of $8,075,000.
Tang's appeals against the default judgments were argued by an eminent British Queen's Counsel, Charles Gray, before the Court of Appeal in September 1997. Judgment has been reserved at the time of writing.
