Singapore’s highest court has upheld a ruling that the Far Eastern Economic Review, a Dow Jones & Co. publication, defamed two of the country’s rulers.
“The Lees sued over the article, about Chee Soon Juan, an opposition party leader and a frequent critic of the Lees. The lawsuits were brought against the Review’s publisher and against its editor, Hugo Restall. Potential damages will be decided later.
“The Review is published by News Corp.’s Dow Jones & Co., which also publishes The Wall Street Journal. News Corp. acquired Dow Jones in late 2007.
“A Dow Jones spokesman declined to comment on the ruling. Mr. Restall, through the spokesman, also declined to comment”
