Roy should thanked the judge for awarding such a low amount.
This would serve as another reminder to the opposition to stop defaming our good PAP leaders. I am also glad that the voters of AMK GRC have overwhelmingly rejected Roy and his rubbish ideas. I hope Roy would stop wasting his time writing about CPF stuff that most sinkies already dismiss as uncredible, pay up the damages and move on with his life.
SINGAPORE — The High Court has ordered blogger Roy Ngerng to pay S$150,000 in damages for defaming Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Roy should thank himself for being of low standing, as stated by the judgement. Do bloggers, including the likes of Amos Yees, have delusions of grandeur?

It is obvious that this judge is a mouthpiece of the Ah Neh lawyer. His judgment takes all the views presented by the Ah Neh and practically ignores the arguments by the defendant lawyer.
And the logic applied by the judgment shows how stupid he is. For example, judge cited that Roy defame Pinky so that he could increase viewership of his blog. For goodness sake, do some basic mathematics lah. How much can Roy benefit with increased viewership? Makes no sense. Another example, judge says that Roy does not have good standing with sinkees despite the substantial viewership of his blog. If viewers don't think much of Roy, then they won't be reading his blog. Third example, judge says that Roy has no credibility as an investigative journalist ...Roy never did presented himself as that ...Roy showed that he was analytical. Judge can't even differentiate between a columnist and journalist.
In short, Pinky won only because it is a kangaroo court. If Pinky has guts, then he should let the appeal be heard in UK court.
