Roy Ngerng

Roy Ngerng Yi Ling (born 9 May 1981) is a Singaporean blogger, activist and former politician. He gained national attention in 2015 when he was found liable for defaming prime minister Lee Hsien Loong. In a blog post, Ngerng accused Lee of being a "thief" and of criminally misappropriating monies paid by citizens to the state-administered Central Provident Fund (CPF). The court ruled that his accusation was malicious and unfounded, calling it "one of the gravest that can be made against any individual, let alone a head of government". Ngerng was ordered to pay defamation damages amounting to S$150,000.

In the 2015 general election, Ngerng joined the opposition Reform Party (RP) and contested as part of a team in Ang Mo Kio GRC, running directly against Lee's People's Action Party (PAP) team. The team secured only 21.4 percent of the vote, the second lowest share among all contested GRCs. Following the election, Ngerng moved to Taiwan in 2016 and has since remained largely absent from Singapore's public and political scene.
