Singapore blogger Roy Ngerng on Tuesday filed his defence in court through his lawyer M Ravi, saying that there is no basis for an award of aggravated damages to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is suing him for defamation.

In defence papers published on his blog, The Heart Truths, and also shared with the media, Ngerng's papers said he "never intended to accuse (PM Lee) of criminal misappropriation of CPF funds", and that "to pursue a claim against (Ngerng) for damages (including aggravated damages) and legal costs, is unnecessary and unwarranted".
