FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

19 OCTOBER 2024 AGC'S STATEMENT ON CONTEMPT OF COURT

At AGC’s request, Mr Donald Low has taken down his Facebook post of 18 October 2024 that was in contempt of court. AGC is considering whether further action is necessary.

2 While court proceedings are ongoing, members of the public should refrain from prejudgment of issues which will be decided by the Court. Such issues include whether a witness is credible or not, and whether the accused is guilty or not.

3 Intentionally publishing public comments which prejudge such issues when court proceedings are ongoing would prejudice or interfere with, or would pose a real risk of prejudice to or interference with, the course of the pending court proceedings. This would amount to the offence of contempt of court, under the Administration of Justice (Protection) Act 2016. * * *

If a PAP MP reviewed Donald's FB post before it was made public does it help his case?

He's in HK
And probably Singapore citizen
They can sue in Singapore and enforce in HK but in other countries there's problems doing that

Just like a gay married couple divorced and have judgement in US
I think they'll have problems and issues using that judgement just to claim money in Singapore
