因被指控脸书帖文涉诽谤内政部长尚穆根,律师拉维今早(16日)出庭面控。

事缘拉维在11月6日,在脸书称本地资深律师尤金.图莱辛甘(Eugene Thuraisingam),于2017年告诉他,内政暨律政部长尚穆根自称能对大法官梅达顺“施加影响”,而且还能“发号施令控制梅达顺”(“calls the shot and controlls (sic) Sundaresh Menon)。

对此尤金致函尚穆根澄清,拉维的言论不属实,尚穆根也未曾告知他上述言论。

上月7日,新加坡警方发文告,证实接到检控官援引刑事程序第16(2)项,指示警方依刑事诽谤罪名调查本地律师拉维。

拉维则在周六(12日)更新脸书帖文,指出他已接到警方通知,要求他出庭。

今早在庭上,拉维则表示已向控方做出陈情,案件展延至明年1月6日进入审前会议。

若刑事诽谤罪成,可被判坐牢最长两年,或处以罚款,或两者兼施。
