An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
This kid was threatened to be sued in Court by a government body - the Council for Private Education (CPE), a statutory body under the Ministry of Education (MOE).
The CPE had threatened Ms Han with defamation proceedings by way of letter of demand through their lawyers, Allen and Gledhill, following two emails they received from Ms Han, which they regarded as defamatory.
Her counsel, human rights lawyer M Ravi, is arguing that the freedom of speech and expression, enshrined in article 14 of the Singapore Constitution, protects citizens from any defamation proceedings by the government and public bodies. The right to sue for defamation is reserved only for individuals and private entities, and not public bodies.
