[h=1]MINDEF OFFICIALLY FILES COURT APPLICATION FOR PROTECTION FROM HARASSMENT[/h]
Post date:
12 Feb 2015 - 3:51pm
The Attorney-General's Chambers has officially filed an application to take out a protection from harassment order against Inventor Dr Ting and socio-political website The Online Citizen.
In a legal letter, published on TOC, the AGC had noted that MINDEF has applied for an order under the new Protection from Harassment Act to stop Dr Ting and TOC from continuing to publish "false allegations" against it in regard to the invention for the mobile medical station which they allegedly "stole" from Dr Ting.
If the application is successful, they will be unable to continue publishing or making false statements about the case and may be fined up or jailed if they breach this order.
TOC explained that this is a concerning development as the Ministry of Defence is a powerful entity with many public avenues to clarify its position.
If Ministries are allowed to take out protection from harassment orders, this may set a precedence for other powerful companies to do the same to try and stop people from spreading bad news about them.
It is understood that Dr Ting and his lawyers are going to be fighting the application.
