PM Lee will take witness stand in Oct defamation trial against blogger

SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will take the stand when his defamation trial against financial advisor Leong Sze Hian opens at the High Court in October.

In a Facebook post following the PTC, Mr Leong's lawyer Mr Lim Tean wrote:"The expert witness who is to be called by PM Lee, Dr Tuan Quang Phan, will give evidence via video link from Hong Kong." PM Lee's lawyers had said earlier the article's allegations were"false and baseless", and it was clear Mr Leong had published the post"maliciously and to damage our client".
