On 17 December 2015, blogger Roy Ngerng was found guilty for a blogpost that had allegedly defamed the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore, and he was ordered by the Supreme Court to pay the PM S$150,000 in damages. Following the success of Leong Sze Hian in raising S$133,000 …

He and his lawyer, Lim Tean, has been asking for donations ever since he was found guilty of defaming Lee Hsien Loong by simply sharing a Facebook post.

Please support these brave souls who risk everything to stand up for what is right! We must help them so that they can get back on their feet and put up a good fight against the elites.

TOC's Editor Terry Xu had his items confiscated again. How many times have we seen it happen? Is this part of a desperate attempt to silence people who speak up?

Lawyer Lim Tean recently defended Leong Sze Hian and Terry Xu against Lee Hsien Loong over the 38 Oxley Road saga. Lim Tean shared how these defamation suits may have backfired against Lee Hsien Loong

Lawyer and political veteran Lim Tean shared on his Facebook that he will be representing The Online Citizen (TOC) editor Terry Xu in his trial against a defamation suit filed by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Lim Tean has punched holes into the defence built by the PM's legal team: (1) why did Lee Hsien Loong not sue The States Review or The Coverage and (2) the expert witness Dr Phan could not be totally independent.

According to news reports, all tickets for this open Court hearing were snapped up by 7AM this morning. This revelation caused lawyer Khush Chopra to comment "I wonder who knew the unusually early time that queue numbers would be issued and that only 20 seats in the public gallery would be available. I’m not sure you can say that this trial is being conducted in open court that anyone is allowed to attend in these circumstances."

I am highly suspect within the time frame in which this was done. Assuming that these allegations against Lim Tean were pre-existing and not something that would just appear out of nowhere, why did the police specifically muscled into Lim Tean's office one week before that Libel suit ? It could easily be a subtle message to hold his tongue in the presence of Lee Hsien Loong

It seems the police may have given the impression that Lim Tean was "uncooperative", while the fact was his counsel had explained to CAD that forcing Lim Tean to give a statement will contravene the due administration of justice.
