Justice Quay Chew Soon said this in his dismissal of Lim's defamation lawsuit against Tan and the English daily here on Wednesday .
"In any event, the final sentence in the article takes away any sting in the impugned statement. A person who is making an unequivocal allegation would not ask for an explanation. Meanwhile, on the part of The Star as the second defendant, the court found that the news portal and daily was entitled to rely on the defence of reportage.
Justice Quay also said that it would be"impossible" for any news organisation to run the"Letter to the Editor" section if they were expected to verify the truth of all material received that they intend to publish in that section.
