Confuseous

PM Lee has filed a court application for a summary judgement against blogger Roy Ngerng late yesterday night (10 Jul)

A Summary Judgement is defined as:

The purpose of summary judgment is to avoid unnecessary trials. It may also simplify a trial, as when partial summary judgment dispenses with certain issues or claims. For example, a court might grant partial summary judgment in a personal injury case on the issue of liability. A trial would still be necessary to determine the amount of damages.

Two criteria must be met before summary judgment may be properly granted: (1) there must be no genuine issues of material fact, and

It is in the public interest to see this case goes for a full trial .

The people of Singapore has a right to know and the plaintiff should give the defendant's lawyers a chance to question him..

Many people were angry about the CPF but they were too afraid to say anything. All this changed when LHL opened a can of worms by suing Roy. He made Roy a martyr :smile:

Even if LKY ups the lorry I doubt many Sporeans are in a mood give him their sympathy vote.

The last time the Lees didnt avoid a summary judgement, Senior lee had to be grilled by the good Dr Chee. Lee Senior performed terribly in the dock. Dr Chee till today swaggers over that episode. No wonder Lee Jnr wants to duck. He will become minced Pinky pork under cross-examination by Ravi.

As Steven Seagal had said in the movie Out For Justice, the same can be said of Lee Hsien Loong.

PM Lee Hsien Loong's team of lawyers have made an application to the court for a summary judgement to be passed in the defamation suit that he brought against Blogger Roy Ngerng.

A summary judgement is a ruling which can be made in some civil (non-criminal) cases without the case having to go through a formal trial.

They are sometimes sought in cases where there is no disagreement on the material facts of the case. Both parties generally agree on what happened but are in dispute about whether the actions of the parties have amounted to a wrong.

In this case a summary judgement has been sought as both parties agree that Roy had published an article and there is no dispute about the contents of that article or the other content which he later posted online.

Records of what was written are accessible and clearly recorded and there is no dispute about what actually happened.

The only things that is in dispute is whether or not what Roy had written amounts to defamation. Roy had not explicitly written that PM Lee was criminally misappropriating CPF funds. He had only used a graphic which was of a similar style as one used earlier to describe the City Harvest Church criminal misappropriation case.

PM Lee had said that using the same sort of graphic had implied that he was criminally misappropriating CPF funds. However, Roy argues that he had only been pointing out that the flow of money was highly confusing and lacked transparency. He also argues that when the image is read in the context of the entire article, where he goes on to talk only about the lack of accountability and transparency, it is clear that he was not accusing PM Lee of criminal misappropriation.

Whether or not Roy had defamed PM Lee lies mainly on this point of what the image, used in the way it was used, had meant and this is what PM Lee has asked the court to determine through a summary judgement.

PM Lee's lawyers have asked the courts to decide what "the natural and ordinary meaning of the words and images" used in Roy's article is.

In PM Lee's submission to the courts, his lawyers had argued that Roy "has no defence" and is guilty of defamation, therefore, the only thing to be determined is how much money Roy owes PM Lee in damages.

If he is found guilty of defamation, Roy will need to pay damages to PM Lee. Mr Lee is also pushing for Roy to pay for his legal costs and wants to get a court order to have Roy stop publishing or sharing content that implies that PM Lee is criminally misappropriating CPF money.

Roy lawyer M Ravi has explained that he will be "vigorously resist[ing]" the application for a summary judgement so that the case can have a full trial.

LHL does not dare to be cross-examined in court ...that's the only reason one can think of.

If I say everyone knew ah loong dared not go to trial, would anyone believe me?
Ah loong has seen how many Singaporeans are standing up to help Roy, and also seeing the people do things that are seen as rebelling against the pappies, with messages at bus stops and on HDB blocks. If he goes to trial, many more people might go to the court hearing and make him look worse.
Plus the fact that he might be asked to produce evidence on whether Roy's post did in fact defame him.. I mean.. if he didn't misappropriate the CPF funds, he should prove it, no?

let us make sure the his AMK GRC voters are well informed of this case that if they keep voting a dud the wrath of God is on them.

Now we know AMK GRC voters have voted a coward candidate into parliament and they should know what to do with him in the next election. If they voted this dud again then these voters are really daft citizens, no eyes see.


Don't be too harsh on Lee Hsien Loong. Being PM is a very busy job you know? I'm sure he needs time to queue for chicken wings or prostitute the country even more. :wink:

Clinton and Obama are in a different class. They are real men. Besides running their countries they are leaders of the free world on the side. Our PM ? Ahem. PM should have gone on TV and given a blistering dressing down to Roy. His stature would have risen immeasurably. Roy is writing hardly more than A level essays.

Going to trial would be a waste of taxpayer funds and court resources. A summary judgement is the right way to go.

Better, a relapse will end it all.
