Post-GE2011, Singaporeans have to learn how to handle and exploit this political awakening and breakthru. One of the things the electorate needs to catch up with is what is libel, slander, defamation, what is defensible and what is not. If we do not, then we either buckle too early when we do not need to as the law is on our side and we have a fair chance of winning, or we fight on needlessly when the tide is against us.
Vikram case vs TOC e.g. is fair to take him on. TRE case vs. Lee and HC is not.
Of cos, even if the case is with us, many of us would not want to waste our time in court and we wld prefer to settle when we need not. Bros who are familiar in this field should step up and help us with advice.
