Terry Xu will be representing himself against Pinky in upcoming defamation suit

[tanwahtiu]

Tell Terry be humble, crowdfunding and we put money is like betting for underdog horse to win....

GE coming, drag the case after GE, crowdfund money is going to be huge at GE, better than strike 4D for Terry...

Engage a lawyer, JBJ son Philip... good fight...

 

[steffychun]

PAP should hold the trial public during the GE. All the @JohnTan 's will scream LHL! All the @winnipegjets will scream Terry!

Oppie Xu will very likely lose his case. That bastard should face justice for defaming our good PM.

I'm afraid the only bastard is your good PM. He likes bullying citizens. What glory is there?

SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will testify if a defamation suit against The Online Citizen (TOC) editor Terry Xu goes to trial, as the allegations are "completely false", Mr Lee's press secretary said in a statement on Tuesday (Sep 10) night.
The Prime Minister is suing TOC editor Xu Yuanchen, also known as Terry Xu, for defamation over an article published last month that repeated allegations made by Mr Lee's siblings in the Oxley Road dispute.
Mr Lee filed the suit because "the allegations are completely false", his press secretary Chang Li Lin said.
"If there is a trial, PM Lee will testify in court. His siblings can decide, together with Mr Xu, whether they too will testify, and repeat the allegations in court," said Ms Chang in the statement.
"The court can then establish the facts."
The article, titled "PM Lee's wife, Ho Ching weirdly shares article on cutting ties with family members", sets out a purported sequence of events involving the Prime Minister and his sister Lee Wei Ling over the dispute for the family home at 38 Oxley Road.
After being served a letter to take down the article and a related Facebook post, Mr Xu removed the article on Sep 1, but reinstated it three days later.
“I am of the opinion that the contents of the article are not defamatory," he said in a letter then.
PM Lee's lawyers have filed a statement of claim saying that the article has "gravely injured in his character and reputation".
In court documents seen by CNA, Mr Lee's lawyers claimed that the offending article said that Mr Lee had misled his father, founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, into thinking that the 38 Oxley Road property had been gazetted by the Singapore Government, and that it was futile for the elder Mr Lee to insist on demolishing the house.
PM Lee's sister, Dr Lee Wei Ling, also repeated these claims in a new Facebook post on Tuesday.

Wat you expect from a spoiled brat, had the best public education, live in Orchard rd, body guard to protect him, rich and powerful Daddy, made the PM not on his own merits and openly stated he will fix oppositions.

A Memorandum of Appearance has been filed by me with the High Court today, to indicate that I will be claiming contest of the defamation suit filed against me by the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong on 5 Sept 2019.

After much deliberation and consideration, I have decided to represent myself in court.

As a result of this decision, there will be no crowdfunding for my legal defence as I do not have to pay any lawyer fees and court filing fees are still manageable. Please do not donate to any online or offline fund raising campaign created in reference to my case.

I will have to file my defence for the case within 14 days from today and the pre-trial conference is scheduled to happen on 15 October 2019, 9.30am.

If members of the public are adamant on helping me at the onset of my legal battle against the Prime Minister, please consider supporting The Online Citizen (TOC), Singapore’s longest running independent online news platform, which is owned and currently solely run by me, who assumes the position as the Chief Editor and is supported by a few staff and volunteers.

As I will have to devote my time to prepare the case’s legal defence and learning about the court’s procedural rules, less articles will be published in the foreseeable future and consequently ad revenue is expected to decline.

That bastard should face justice for defaming our good PM.

If there is JUSTICE, Terry Xu will definitely win.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Pinky as PM is really free to testify for such a matter. The people must be paying him well and very sympathetic to him when he seems to have alot of free time on his hands

The trial is a farce, the verdict is a foregone conclusion... but even the proverbial dog can have its day in a kangaroo court.

Good luck to Terry Xu, and hopefully he manages to humiliate that stain on SG politics which has been around since 2004.
