SINGAPORE - The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is considering further action against academic Donald Low over his Facebook post on Oct 18, which it said was in contempt of court. In a statement on Oct 19, the AGC said Low has taken down his Facebook post at its request, and added that members of the public should refrain from prejudgment of issues that will be decided by the court while proceedings are ongoing. Such issues include whether a witness is credible or not, and whether the accused is guilty or not, it added. The AGC added that intentionally publishing public comments that prejudge issues, such as the credibility of witnesses, when court proceedings are ongoing would prejudice or interfere with the course of court proceedings - and this would amount to the offence of contempt of court. Low, a senior lecturer at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Institute for Public Policy, had in his post on Oct 18 commented on evidence put before the State Courts in the ongoing trial of Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh.
