Iris Koh’s husband Raymond Ng declared vexatious litigant, barred from starting lawsuits

Raymond Ng, the husband of anti-vaccine group founder Iris Koh, was declared a vexatious litigant by a Singapore High Court judge on August 4. This designation bars him from initiating new civil legal proceedings without court permission. In contrast, Koh received a two-year general civil restraint order, which restricts her from starting new actions but allows ongoing lawsuits like her defamation claim against former Nominated MP Calvin Cheng. The judge noted that while Koh had initiated vexatious proceedings without reasonable grounds, there was insufficient evidence she did so habitually. The Attorney-General’s Chambers had previously applied for both to be declared vexatious litigants, citing over 37 legal actions they had filed between 2021 and early 2026. Some of their cases, including those against the Health Sciences Authority and National University of Singapore, were dismissed, while others remain pending.
