Shanmugam and Tan See Leng to donate Bloomberg damages to charity, say defamation suit was about protecting integrity


SINGAPORE: Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam and Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said on Tuesday (Jul 15) they will donate to charity the damages awarded to them in their defamation suit against Bloomberg.

In separate Facebook posts published on Tuesday night, hours after the High Court delivered its judgment, the ministers reiterated that the lawsuit was about protecting their integrity and reputations, as well as the standing of their ministerial offices.

Earlier on Tuesday, the High Court awarded S$230,000 (US$178,000)Ā in damages each to the ministers after finding that Bloomberg and Mr Low De Wei had maliciously defamed them in a July 2024 article about their property transactions.
