A Singapore blogger deleted a post alleging the city’s courts are biased in favor of the well-connected after the government’s top legal adviser called the charge “scurrilous” and threatened prosecution.
“I apologize for committing that act of contempt,” Au Waipang, 60, said in a posting on his website on July 10 that was drafted by the Attorney-General’s office. “I will not in future put up any post to the same or similar effect.”
