SINGAPORE: Former
Singapore actor Joshua Ang has become embroiled in a legal tussle with
Citispa CEO Gerald Teo who claims that Ang had defamed him.
Last month, Ang posted comments on Twitter and Facebook that Teo believed to be defamatory.
Although Teo had earlier demanded that Ang remove the comments from his Facebook page and Twitter account, Ang has not done so.
The two parties met on Wednesday in an attempt to resolve the matter out of court but could not reach an agreement.
They are now expected to face each other in Court on November 4.
The 32-year-old Citispa CEO was tight-lipped when approached for comment about the matter.
"I will reserve any comments to the appropriate time.
"I
do not intend to have my case tried by the media as I believe that that
would be improper," said Teo in a statement to channelnewsasia.com.
"I
can only add that I had tried to resolve matters amicably but
negotiations broke down because Mr Ang does not appear to want to
negotiate sincerely."
As for Ang, he too declined to speak in
detail about the dispute, only saying that he is still open to settling
the matter privately even though Wednesday's talks had failed.
"I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support during this period.
"While
I have every intention of defending this lawsuit vigorously, I remain
open to an out-of-Court settlement provided that it is fair," said the
22-year-old in a statement.
