Brilliant my ass it's just twisting and turning as usual.
This paragraph is carefully crafted. Look at this:
3) There were no witnesses present at that meeting and hence I am in no position to prove to anyone that she did indeed say that to me. By the same token, I believe Ms Lim is not in a position to prove to anyone that she did not make those statements to me. The public is free to form its own opinions and I respect that.
He started by admitting it's his words versus SL's. Then he asserted that since that's the case, SL can't prove that she did not utter those words. He then invited the public to form their own opinions and he would respect them. An attempt to show his magnanimity.
I would say this has all the fingerprints of a person who is legally trained. In the court room, especially where there is a jury panel, counsels often make statements just to influence the jury members' minds. Even if the opposing counsel objects and the statement is withdrawn as evidence, the words are said and there's no way the jury members can just forget them. It will subtly influence the way they make decision subsequently. An example would be when you ask someone not to look into a sealed envelop, it has the opposite effect as it arouses his curiosity.
I do not disagree that Sajeev is twisting and turning. But this is a well-crafted statement, just like the first one. And I sense malice in both statements. He certainly writes well, or at least very well coached (or written on his behalf).
Btw, when I used "brilliant", it is not necessarily a compliment
