Bloggervist Roy Ngerng raises S$144,389 in 9 days after asking for donations to pay off damages owed to PM Lee

Roy Ngerng, a Singaporean man and bloggervist, who used to write lengthy blog posts but eventually got sued for it, said on April 16, 2021 that he had raised S$144,389.14 via crowdfunding in nine days -- enough money to pay off at one shot all outstanding damages owed to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
In 2015, PM Lee was awarded S$150,000 in damages after successfully suing Ngerng for libel.
To date, Ngerng has paid PM Lee S$6,000.
He had been paying S$100 a month for the past five years.
Ngerng's fundraising campaign was launched as he is set to start paying PM Lee S$1,000 a month for the next 12 years.
