Roy Ngerng, a blogger, was found guilty for a blogpost that had allegedly defamed the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore. On December 17, 2015, the Supreme Court ordered Ngerng to pay the PM S$150,000 in damages. The Court in this case determined that the right to sue for defamation overruled the defendant's right to freedom of speech. Even though the plaintiff was a public figure and the defendant was discussing a matter of public concern, the Court still ruled that the plaintiff's cause of action for defamation was allowed. Some of the information in this report was derived from secondary sources.
