Singapore: FEER convicted for defamation of Singapore's rulers

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Editor 'defamed' Singapore leader
"Singapore's High Court has ruled that the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER) magazine defamed Singapore's rulers."

"Singapore state media reported that Justice Woo Bih Li had reached
his conclusion of defamation by summary judgement, as requested by the
Lees.

In such a judgement, the court makes a ruling without the case
going to trial, as it agrees with the applicant that the defence
arguments are baseless, the Straits Times newspaper added."
