PM Lee rejects blogger's offer of $5,000 as damages
Published on May 27, 2014 8:31 PM

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has rejected blogger Roy Ngerng's offer of $5,000 as damages, his lawyer Davinder Singh said in a letter to Mr Ngerng's lawyer on Tuesday.

This offer is "derisory" and "completely disregards" the gravity of Mr Ngerng's conduct, the undisputed fact that the libel - that PM Lee misapproriated CPF funds - is false and malicious, and Mr Ngerng's "calculated and systematic aggravation of the injury and distress" to Mr Lee, Mr Singh wrote.

"It is clear that your client has always known that the allegation of criminal misappropriation against our client is false, but chose nonetheless to publish it in a sensational manner, so as to raise his public profile and to gain support."

Mr Singh again raised the point that Mr Ngerng's apology, posted on May 23, was completely insincere and "designed to mislead our client and the public", adding that Mr Ngerng had "another agenda".

Transgender Loong has taken the bait and will have to answer as to how much taxpayers are paying him for his services as PM, CHairman of GIC, CHairman of PA, Head of Elections Department and Head of CPIB. Without these data it is impossible to ascertain the damages deemed appropriate in his suit. Transgender Loong will also have to answer to his calling cry to buy support and fix his adversaries. Transgender Loong will have to state why someone like him who wants to be in public office and to use the powers therein to buy support and fix adversaries deserves even five cents when someone supposes that he has been less than transparent in how the CPF is used and how much HDB housing prices costs to build.

"It is clear that your client has always known that the allegation of criminal misappropriation against our client is false, but chose nonetheless to publish it in a sensational manner, so as to raise his public profile and to gain support."

It's not an admission that it is false. It's just that it cannot be so easily proved as everything is so opaque. The only inference people derived is that if there is nothing to hide, why so opaque and non-transparent and why keep giving excuses and delay the withdrawal of our CPF funds?

What is a politician's reputation worth if he has gone on record to announce that he will BUY support and FIX his adversaries?

Transgender Loong versus Gayboy Roy is a bookies dream come true.

pinky is a pig - to reject the amount that is so small it is silly.
relapse soon for reunion with an ahqua

 

[steffychun]

Wah such a high powered word...derisory

But that's from the lawyer. The PM can only chant mee siam mai hum.

 

[dredd]

If the ground is sweet for Roy, he'll have no worries. He has not done anything wrong in a democracy. To go after someone who chooses simply to ask questions is really low.

With great exuberance he chanted "mee siam mai hum"....the mispronunciation of Mee Siam Mai hiam....you think he can pronounce & know the word, derisory?

He should have simplified his question like CSJ & asked " where is my money"?...and point to.......!! maybe that will not be too derisory?
