Justice Kwek also found that Mr Tang was 'reckless about the truthfulness of what he posted'.

September 28, 2022

Justice Kwek Mean Luck ordered Mr Tang to pay $20,000 in damages, another $24,000 in legal costs, and more than $7,000 in disbursements, which are out-of-pocket expenses. The judge noted the workshop had told Mr Tang that it would charge him only if his car's issues were unrelated to the battery it had installed, to which he replied,"okay lah, fair enough lah".

Mr Tang had contacted the workshop on May 18, 2021, to replace his car battery. After the battery was installed, he was told that it came with a one-year warranty. He said in the post:"I was told to be charge for the service. I was just wondering, what is the purpose of promise of warranty..." Justice Kwek found that the post was defamatory as it suggested"some degree of unfairness and unreasonableness" on the part of the workshop.
