    Unhappy Ex-Employer Sued Me for Defamation

    My question involves defamation in the state of: Singapore

    My ex company is suing me for defamation. I posted on Linkedin, facebook, twitter my unhappiness about how bad the management is. Because after my resignation in 27 Nov 2012 they keep delaying my final salary. I posted our email correspondence online to let everyone know that how this company treats its employee. After all my postings online, they finally send me an email on 4 feb 2013 stating that they will deposit my final salary into my account. On 5 Feb 2013, I received their lawyer letter on defamation:


    1. Remove my posts (which i did after they finally deposited my salary)
    2. publish apology on facebook, linkedin, twitter

    Questions: Should I apologies, all my emails supporting can prove that what i posted online were truth and even the accountant can prove that no cheques were prepared for my collection.
    All i wanted was my salary, i am not a rich man kid and need the money to pay rent, food and daily expenses.
    Also, what i posted were all the truth.
    Please advise should i just publish apologies as written by their lawyer?

    Which state is the town of "Singapore" in?

    .............I'd say, ask yourself which costs less? An apology or a high-dollar-per-hour lawyer to defend yourself? Apparently they seem to to think they have enough of a case to involve their legal department's resource's.............

    I may have found it! Is Singapore in northern Montana?

    Hi Souperdave, Singapore (i/ˈsɪŋəpɔr/), officially the Republic of Singapore, is a southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. The country is highly urbanised with very little primary rainforest remaining, although more land is being created for development through land reclamation.
    Part of various local empires since being inhabited in the 2nd century AD, Singapore hosted a trading post of the East India Company in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Occupied by the Japanese in World War II, Singapore declared independence, uniting with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963, although it was separated from Malaysia two years later. Since then it has had a massive increase in wealth, and is one of the Four Asian Tigers. Singapore is the world's fourth leading financial centre, and its port is one of the five busiest ports in the world. The economy depends heavily on exports and refining imported goods, especially in manufacturing, which constituted 26% of Singapore's GDP in 2005.
    Singapore is a unitary multiparty parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government. The People's Action Party has won every election since self-government in 1959, and governs on the basis of a strong state and prioritising collective welfare over individual rights such as freedom of speech.
    In terms of purchasing power parity, Singapore has the third highest per capita income in the world. There are slightly over 5 million people in Singapore, of which 2.91 million were born locally. The population is highly diverse; the majority are Chinese, with Malays and Indians forming significant minorities. Reflecting this diversity, the country has four official languages: English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. One of the five founding members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, the country is also the host of the APEC Secretariat, and a member of the East Asia Summit, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Commonwealth.

    As for my question, if you have the time i can forward all the email correspondences and from there you will know who is telling the truth and who is the sly one.

    The point is, this forum deals with US LAW only.

    That was Dave's point.
