Man sues woman for $2.3 million for giving him ‘emotional trauma’

A man in Singapore who was rejected romantically by a woman has launched two lawsuits against her for failing to improve their relationship and for the “emotional trauma” he suffered after finding out she saw him only as a friend.

K. Kawshigan filed one suit against Nora Tan Shu Mei in the Magistrate’s Court for S$22,000 (US$16,700) in damages, for purportedly breaching an agreement to improve their relationship.

The second was filed in the High Court for S$3 million, for the emotional trauma he allegedly suffered after finding out that she saw him only as a friend, among other things.

The lawsuit in the Magistrate’s Court was struck out by deputy registrar Lewis Tan. Lewis Tan called the civil suit an abuse of process and said the court would not be an accessory to Kawshigan’s “calculated attempt to compel engagement” from Nora Tan.
