PAP MP & lawyer Michael Palmer fighting against defamation suit for PAP supporting President of the now-dead Association of Bloggers Jayne Goh. How ironic!

MP represents blogger
by Alicia Wong 05:55 AM Jul 16, 2010Member of Parliament Michael Palmer is now representing blogger Jayne Goh in her appeal against a High Court ruling that Ms Goh had defamed teacher Mrs Janet Wong in a blog post.
Mr Palmer, a partner at Harry Elias Partnership, informed the courts of this on Wednesday. The case was first reported by Today last August.
Mrs Wong, represented by lawyers Adrian Tan and Ong Pei Ching from Drew & Napier, sued Ms Goh for alleging online that the former was corrupt.
Ms Goh's former lawyer, Mr Kang Gim Swee, did not respond to queries by press time. The hearing has been adjourned to Sept 13. Alicia Wong
