High Court Judge Belinda Ang has rejected Dr Chee Soon Juan's application to reconvene the hearing for the assessment of damages in the case against Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mr Lee Hsien Loong.

The Lees have sued the SDP, Dr Chee and Ms Chee Siok Chin for defamation over an article in The New Democrat, the party's newsletter, comparing the running of the National Kidney Foundation and Singapore.

Dr Chee made the application after Mr Lee Kuan Yew had told the court that the president of the International Bar Association (IBA) had written a letter complimenting Singapore's judiciary.
