SINGAPORE: To pay the S$150,000 in damages owed to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for defamation, blogger Roy Ngerng will start with payments of S$100 a month for five years, his lawyer said on Monday (Mar 14).

These instalments will start from Apr 1, 2016. After five years - from Apr 1, 2021 - Ngerng will have to pay S$1,000 a month until the full sum is paid, lawyer Eugene Thuraisingam said.

In addition, Ngerng will have to pay S$30,000 for the costs of the Assessment of Damages hearing by Wednesday, Mar 16.

If he pays all the instalments on time, Ngerng will be done paying by the year 2033.

In an email, Mr Thuraisingam said that on behalf of Ngerng, they had agreed with Mr Lee's lawyers on terms to settle the costs payable for the assessment hearing and the terms of payment of the S$150,000 late last week.

Ngerng will not have to pay any interest if he makes his payments on time, however, if he breaches the agreement - such as by failing to make any one of the payments on time - the full amount outstanding plus Court Judgment interest will be immediately payable.

Mr Thuraisingam was representing Ngerng on a pro bono basis.

A few things that came to mind....
- a few wrong words cost him $150k
- and the damages was $150k, what will $150k repair?
- who assess the assessing person to account that it is worth $30k

Ok so he won $150k in damages, but lost the hearts of people.

Can he declare bankrupt and not pay a single cent? Or pay lesser than $1k? Can drag, please drag. Cause high chance he out live LHL. And not that LHL need the money anyway. Or LHL can say, the monthly payment go directly to charities of his choice....

$100 for 5 years, $1,000 thereafter.

Maybe after 5yrs, write to LHL and asked for pardon on the remaining sum.
