Local blogger to fight for free speech rights in court

[Extremist]

In the first case of its kind in Singapore, 21-year-old local blogger, Han Hui Hui, applies to the High Court for a declaration that the Council for Private Education (CPE), a statutory body, is not entitled to bring any defamation action against her. Her counsel, human rights lawyer M Ravi, is arguing that the freedom of speech and expression, enshrined in article 14 of the Singapore Constitution, protects citizens from any defamation proceedings by the government and public bodies.

The Singapore Constitution is not worth the paper it is printed on. Go to the Statutes website and read it yourself.

Singapore is a pirate port.

It seems that Ravi shares something in common with a couple of opposition figures (who shall remain nameless) -- all are publicity hounds.

The difference being, Ravi can be excused, at times. He is not mentally sound 24/7/365. Not the couple of opposition chaps.
