A Singapore court has found the Wall Street Journal Asia in contempt of court for publishing three articles relating to Singapore's judiciary, and fined it S$25,000 ($16,580), court documents said yesterday.
Singapore's attorney-general brought contempt of court charges against the publisher of the Asian edition of the Wall Street Journal, News Corp's Dow Jones & Co, and two of the newspaper's editors, Daniel Hertzberg and Christine Glancey.
The case was brought for two editorials and a letter written by opposition leader Chee Soon Juan about Singapore's judiciary in the newspaper.
