Founder of the Association of Bloggers of Singapore Jayne Goh sued for defamation

Temasek Review said:

Ms Jayne Goh made headlines this year with the setting up of the Association of Blogger ostensibly to “educate” bloggers on responsible blogging.

The association drew flak from the online community with many bloggers expressing scepticism about the organisation, questioning its purpose and leadership.

It was boycotted by most major blogs including the Temasek Review.

Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "Ironic that founder of Singapore Bloggers Association wanted to promote responsible blogging, but ended up defaming people and being sued."
