BREAKING: Lee Hsien Yang is the first to give to Leong Sze Hian’s defence fund as he prepares to fight lawsuit by PM Lee

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s own younger brother, Lee Hsien Yang, is the first to give to blogger Leong Sze Hian’s defence fund as Leong prepares to defend himself in legal proceedings brought on by PM Lee.

Earlier, PM Lee commenced legal proceedings against Leong for defamation after the latter shared an article on his Facebook page that alleged that the head of government helped launder 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds.

Leong, who initially said that he was “bewildered” by PM Lee’s actions said today that he is fighting the claims against him in court. Besides filing a defence, Leong is also filing a counterclaim against PM Lee for “abusing the process of the court in bringing the claim against me.”

Leong has since revealed to The Independent Singapore that individuals have begun to crowdfund for his Defence Fund and that late founding PM Lee Kuan Yew’s youngest son Lee Hsien Yang was the first to give during the fundraising efforts:

Leong revealed to this publication that “people have started to crowdfund for my Defence Fund. Lee Hsien Yang sent me a message that he has transferred – lo and behold he is the first one to do so into my account!”

The authorities in Singapore are also suing Lee Hsien Yang’s son Li Shengwu over a private “friends-only” Facebook post.

Mr Leong is hoping to raise at least $10,000 for his defence fund. You may contribute through the following channels:

Does your uncle need a man-servant, butler or driver? I could use the extra income.

KNN looks like lhy is donating some show ticket arena seat type $250 and the balance $9750 need crowdfunding KNN

This has nothing to do with money. It is an act of symbolism. I'd be very surprised if the decision to counter sue was not instigated by Hsien Yang and the pieces are beginning to fall into place.

The breakfast meeting with TCB in a very public place.... the orchestrated public display of support for Leong (very good sirname)... all this means the battle lines have been drawn and this is going to be an enthralling drama which we don't even have to buy tickets to watch.

I have often said that I have lived a great life and I'd happily kick the bucket tomorrow with no regrets.

Guess what! I've changed my mind. I want to witness Lee vs Lee in all its bloody glory before I die.

The old fart had better get up as promised and put a stop to these shenanigans or he's going to witness a significant devaluation of the Lee pedigree.

This time really buy popcorn and watch epic fight between pinky and yang using proxy Leong. Lol

Nothing unusual for the prince and the princeling to fight over a share of the kingdom. It has happened to many times to mention. If anything, this will make Singaporeans' lives less boring.

it is a symbolic gesture. it is not so much abt the money.

LKY is a failure. He is not able to rise up. SG is crumbling few years after his death. What LKY thought he built was just hot air

Too arrogant, too self-centred for his own good.

He believed his soul would just cease to exist after his death. What mattered to him was what he had achieved during his lifetime. With the influx of Ah Neh fts thanks to CECA, SG's fate was sealed. What we see today is the aftermath of LKY's heavyhanded misguided policies.

LHL was praised for his acumen by the old fart.

Are you smoking too much weed ??? LSW has to come back to Singapore some day to renew his passport. Once he is back, he will be charged and put into Jail.

If LHY is not going to save his son, no one is going to save LSW.

Unless LSW decides to ditch his SG passport and embrace the star spangled banners.

 

[sweetiepie]

KNN any law expert to advise in this case what is the punishment for leong for defamation and loong for court abuse ? KNN only fines and apologise type or can be jailed KNN

Why does he have to renew his passport?

SINGAPORE: Blogger Leong Sze Hian, who is being sued by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for defamation over the sharing of an article, has filed a counterclaim, along with his defence.
PM Lee's suit against Mr Leong alleges that the financial adviser shared a "highly defamatory" article claiming that Mr Lee helped former Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak launder money.

READ: PM Lee sues blogger Leong Sze Hian for defamation over sharing of article
The article, titled "Breaking News: Singapore Lee Hsien Loong Becomes 1MDB's Key Investigation Target - Najib Signed Several Unfair Agreements With Hsien Loong In Exchange for Money Laundering", was carried on Malaysian website The Coverage on Nov 7.
The offending material alleged that PM Lee was "complicit in criminal activity" relating to 1MDB and that he "corruptly used his position as Prime Minister to help Mr Najib Razak launder 1MDB's billions", according to PM Lee's lawyers, led by Senior Counsel Davinder Singh.
Mr Leong on Wednesday (Dec 26) announced on Facebook that he had hired Lim Tean as his defence lawyer, and shared court documents outlining his defence and counterclaim.

Mr Lim recently set up a new political party called People's Voice.
In the court documents, it was said that Mr Leong removed the offending Facebook post once he was ordered to by the Info-communications Media Development Authority, three days after it was put up.
"He does not assert that what the article said or is alleged to have said was true," said Mr Lim in Mr Leong's defence, adding that all Mr Leong did "was to share without endorsement or comment a link to an article" which had been sent to him on Facebook.
He will argue that the claim against him is "unnecessary to vindicate the Prime Minister's reputation" since the people of Singapore generally "knew that he and the Government were asserting that the article was false in the entire three-day period it was on our client's Facebook page", said Mr Lim in the documents.
Mr Leong has also filed a counterclaim against the prime minister for alleged "abuse of the process of the court" as there is "no proper need to pursue these proceedings".
He pointed out that PM Lee "has not taken legal action against anyone in respect of these articles" except for Mr Leong, claiming that "thousands" of others published or shared the offending articles online.
In his counterclaim, Mr Leong asserted that he had suffered "damage to his reputation" through the court proceedings brought against him by PM Lee and also asked similarly for damages to be assessed should he succeed in his counterclaim.
In response to queries from the media, Mr Lee's press secretary said that "the matter is before the courts and that the prime minister will continue to take legal advice on developments".
A pre-trial conference for Mr Lee's case against Mr Leong is expected to take place on Jan 7.
