A WOMAN on trial for distributing seditious evangelical tracts yesterday said she saw no difference between the materials she had distributed and other widely available books, including bestseller The Da Vinci Code.

UBS associate director Dorothy Chan Hien Leng, 45, said the fictional bestseller, which many think has anti-Christian themes, had been explicitly allowed by the Media Development Authority. The film of the book was also shown in cinemas.

Chan was fielding questions from Deputy Public Prosecutor Anandan Bala about a defence document she had prepared and submitted to the court. The document was titled Objectionable Contents Compared.
