The Singapore high court has ordered a blogger to pay Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong S$133,000 (RM410,000) in damages in a defamation case filed by the city-state’s leader, according to a judgment released on Wednesday.

Lee had sued Leong Sze Hian, a financial advisor, after he shared on Facebook an online news article that linked the premier to a financial scandal at Malaysia’s state fund 1MDB.
