| When is a Matter Considered & Defamatory by the Courts?
Trindade, FA • [1999] Sing JLS 1 (Jul)The various tests for determining whether matter is defamatory are discussed, with the writer pointing out that the "ridiculous light" test has the potential to stifle caricature and satirical writing. The writer then argues that the standard by which the defamatory quality of matter is judged in culturally diverse countries should not be that of the community as a whole, but could equally be that of a respectable minority. Finally, the writer discuses the shift in community attitudes towards sexist advertising, extra-marital relationships, homosexuality and lesbianism, abortion and communism, and the consequences of any such shift for the law of defamation.

| Improving the Determination of Diminished Responsibility Cases
Yeo, Stanley • [1999] Sing JLS 27 (Jul)The Study of Singaporean cases on diminished responsibility reveals that our judges have generally dealt with the elements of the defence in a haphazard manner. Furthermore, they have placed too much reliance on medical expert opinion. The submission is made that a close adherence to the model formulated by the English case of R v Byrne for determining diminished responsibility cases will considerably improve the judicial handling of such cases in our jurisdiction

| Similar Fact Evidence in Singapore: Probative Value, Prejudice and Politics
Hor, Michael Yew Meng • [1999] Sing JLS 48 (Jul)This discussion explores how the inability of the law of evidence to decide how to deal decisively with character evidence in general and similar fact evidence in particular has spawned the ambiguous formula of weighing probative value and prejudice. It also suggests that this weakness gives extraneous "political" factors the opportunity to insinuate themselves into actual decision-making. Because of this, decisions from other jurisdictions cannot be taken at face value, as may have been done in the most recent case in Singapore, Lee Kuan Peng.
