The Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong filed a court application this Friday, for a summary judgement against blogger Roy Ngerng. Ngerng has written and published his blog accusing the Singaporean Prime Minister of “criminal misappropriation” with regards to monies from the Central Provident Fund (CPF), a national and compulsory savings scheme.
Mr Lee, who is represented by lawyers from Drew and Napier, is seeking the courts to determine “the natural and ordinary meaning of the words and images” added in the article by Ngerng. Mr Lee is also seeking damages, costs and for an order for Mr Ngerng to be “restrained from publishing or disseminating that the Plaintiff… is guilty of criminal misappropriation of the monies paid by Singaporeans” to the CPF. “The Court has jurisdiction and this is the proper case to determine the natural and ordinary meaning of the offending words and images,” Mr Lee’s submission said, “The defendant has no defence to the Plaintiff’s claim and the only issue to be determined is damages,” it added.
Mr Ngerng had earlier complied with demands made by Mr Lee, including issuing an apology, removing the offending article and four others, and making an offer of compensation, which was subsequently rejected by Mr Lee, who described the S$5,000 offer as “derisory” according to TOC.
