Sue individual lah, duh.... Its like I using NSP logo and sell something, you cant sue me because i'm not a company? duh :p:p
Then there is issue of the business related to the name.
TR is a political blog
Temasek Holdings and or its publications are non political businesses and publications.
You can open McDonalds plumbing svcs and the burger joint will not sue. But if you have McDonald's hot dogs and sandwiches - that might be a problem.
Finally where to sue? Can Singapore courts have juridiction over business based in overseas?

Is it not obvious that they are trying to bully a poor doctor into silence before the GE?
How about Temasek Polytechnic, Secondary school, Junior College , club, Hall (NUS)??
>In the 14th century, Singapore became known to the world by the name of "Temasek" meaning "Sea Town" and was an integral part of the empire called the Shri Vijayan Empire.>
Maybe the descendants or the people of the Shri Vjayan Empire should sue one & all for the use of the word TEMASEK...I forgot, members ok! lah!

You don't even know very much about law you dare to challenge people to sue you. Don't know law how to make laws?
Temasek Holdings can find anyone it wants to find. Just threaten to sue the web host and all will be revealed. There's no problem threatening to sue whether US-based or PRC-based or wherever-based web host with their government on TH side. Temasek Holdings is owned by Ministry of Finance, a government department. Temasek Review is talking about politics. Enough said. Enough reason to establish a case anywhere in the world with rule of law.
The best they can do it is block the site .What Local jurisdiction ruling have little meaning outside. This has nothing to do with confusing the 2 entities. Its an attempt to flush out the principal behind the website or to send a message to behave.
Anyway, as we speak, the current editorial team, its board of directors and their counterpart from the previous management are probably talking to each other on resolving this issue together with Alice in Wonderland.
Here are the possible outcome
1) The name is changed
2) Name is not changed
3) Name is not changed and the site is blocked
There will certainly be no court case.

It is reported in "Weekend Today" that Temasek Holding registered "Temasek Review" as a trademark in November last year.
And if "Wayang Party" has it's name changed earlier then the registered date. So how is Temasek Holding going to bulldoze that down?

Joe is basically stuck. He has no choice but to make representation which now puts him in a position where he will need to make a false statement.
This is no longer a war of word on the web.
He will be agonising over on how to play this hand. He has been making payment using his card in the past and there is a trail. These can be easily traced to him.
Maybe he will take a punt and categorically deny any knowledge and take his chances.

there were no reports from TR on the issue, 'Molina han and gang' should come out and clarify that Dr Ong is no longer with TR, right?

Bro, nothing to do with the trademark. Even can idiot can tell the difference between the two entities.
They are just trying to flush out TR. Its an arm of the Govt.
Here is a suggestion to get out of this mess without digging a hole for himself.
1) Refuse to answer the letter and state orally that he has nothing to do with TR.
2) Change the name to Singapore Enquirer which was previously associated with him.
Temasek Holdings will look like a dork, if they continue to pursue the matter.

If there is no case.
TR, can simply ignore the report, keep his mouth shut and doing nothing.

I don't know whether TR was named after Temasek Holdings' Temasek Review but I'm not surprised if it wasn't. Who knew TH used "TR" anyway? Not me, until finding TOC's link. "Temasek" means Singapore and "Review" is just like "Post" or "Times" - common names given to newspapers.
I don't know why but I'm seeing an increase of PAP logos all around. "Power" detergent and some small company called AC Electronics or something and others.
Indeed and it shows how desperate these people can be when they cant take the heat.
They move in its machinery to destroy a DR and without mercy. But the hidden agenda therein is still to bring down TR.
TR should never give in, it's cyberspace and it's international, they cant have things their way all the time.
The people behind TR are not stupid. They will milk all the additional mainstream media coverage they can get from this debacle, own goal by the PAPies and their dogs. Don't forget that the PAPies are only good at increasing prices to solve problems and how to provide ridiculous points of views to substantiate their stance. When given a real problem, 8 out of 10 times they will fail miserably.
