Re: Vincent Wijeysingha's made false allegation and then put up insincere apology on
1. On or around 2 December 2012, I, Vincent Wijeysingha, published on my Facebook page (at
http://www.facebook.com/ vwijeysingha), a Facebook “note” entitled “’You can resign and go to SBS,’ the drivers were told” (“Note”), which included the following words:
“It fabricates evidence – as Dr Vasoo did twenty years ago – to deprive people of their living. Lest I be accused of fabricating this, I draw evidence from the fact that this accusation has been published abroad in my colleague, Chee Soon Juan’s book, Democratically Speaking, available these last three months and against which Dr Vasoo has not raised a whimper.”
at
http://www.facebook.com/notes/vince...-to-sbs-the-drivers-were-told/517597378258190 (collectively, the “Words”).
2. I recognise that the Words mean or were understood to mean that Dr Vasoo fabricated evidence to deprive Dr Chee Soon Juan of his living.
3. I admit and acknowledge that this allegation is false and completely without foundation.
4. I unreservedly apologise to Dr Vasoo for the distress and embarrassment caused to him by this allegation.
5. I have removed the Words and the comments in response to or in connection with the Words and undertake not to make any further allegation in the same or similar effect.
6. May I request that all Facebook users who have shared this Note to delete it from your Facebook page.
7. May I request all Facebook users who have commented specifically on the Words to delete their comment.
8. I appreciate your assistance in the matter of paragraph 6 and 7.
Thank you.
