Singapore libel laws claim first blogger

Singapore's tough libel laws claimed their first blogger today. If you go to Caustic Soda, the blog is gone. All you get is a single-page apology for a post on the Singapore government's science and technology agency website.

"I recognise and accept that a number of statements … were defamatory of A*Star, its chairman, Mr Philip Yeo, and its executive officers," writes Chen Jiahao, a 23-year-old postgrad who posted from the US.
