[JURIST] US blogger and attorney Gopalan Nair appeared in the Singaporean Supreme Court Monday and pleaded not guilty to insulting a public servant. Nair is on trial for accusing a judge of "prostituting herself" in a defamation case brought by former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew against the Singapore Democratic Party. Under a provision of the Singaporean Penal Code, insulting a public servant conducting a judicial proceeding is punishable by up to one year in prison, a $5,000 fine or both. After Nair entered his plea, the trial was adjourned until later this week. AFP has more. Nair faces another trial on a charge of insulting a second judge. He is also appealing his conviction last week on charges of disorderly conduct and using abusive words toward police officers. Before becoming a US citizen, Nair was a Singaporean opposition politician, having run for office in 1991 as a member of the Workers' Party. In July, a report by the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) concluded that Singapore lacks an independent judiciary and fails to meet international standards of human rights by heavily regulating international and domestic press and enforcing extreme defamation laws. Singapore's Ministry of Law responded that the group was biased in its assessment and that the country had already responded to such concerns. ...

With the death of Joshua B. Jeyaretnam, this thriving Southeast Asian city-state has lost its most iconic political maverick, dealing another blow to an opposition movement enfeebled by government lawsuits and voter apathy. Jeyaretnam, a once wealthy lawyer driven to bankruptcy under the weight of defamation lawsuits filed by Singapore's leaders, died Tuesday at age 82. In recent years, he had stood on street corners and outside subway stations peddling his books about politics because no retailer would stock them. A socialist at heart, he argued Singapore's free market policies enriches the elite while an underbelly of poor struggles to get by. Jeyaretnam found his place in history as Singapore's first opposition politician to be elected to Parliament, in 1981 - 22 years after the governing People's Action Party took power when Britain granted self rule. "He will, of course, be remembered as the man who ended the PAP monopoly," said Simon Tay, a former opposition legislator and now chairman of a think tank, the Singapore Institute of International Affairs. "Even if this first victory did not grow into a two-party system, it is an important marker." Singapore joined Malaysia in a federation in 1963 but broke away as an independent state two years later, led by then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, a contemporary of Jeyaretnam and his most bitter foe. In 1981, Jeyaretnam seemed poised to carve out a power base when he entered Parliame ...

Veteran Singapore politician JB Jeyaretnam has died of heart failure in a Singapore hospital, aged 82. He was the first to break a government monopoly on power in Singapore when he won a seat in parliament in 1981. He had been forced into bankruptcy over defamation cases won by the government but was planning a new run for office. Dubbed the Grand Old Man of opposition politics, analysts said Mr Jeyaretnam was a thorn in the side of Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan-Yew. Born in 1926 in Jaffna, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Mr Jeyaretnam trained as a lawyer in Britain before making his home in Singapore. ...
