PM Lee sends lawyer's letter to editors of TR Emeritus

By Tessa Wong


Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday sent a lawyer's letter to the editors of the TR Emeritus (TRE) sociopolitical website, asking for a post alleging cronyism in the appointment of Madam Ho Ching as head of Temasek Holdings to be taken down.

Madam Ho is PM Lee's wife.

He also asked for an apology to be posted on the website by Feb 24, and which must remain on the website for the same number of days as the offending post had been.

In addition, he also wanted the TRE editors to give a written confirmation by Feb 23 that they would comply, failing which he would start legal proceedings against them.

Now everyone will know about this website and learn more 'hard truths'. Imagine free publicity on the front page of the main newspaper in the country.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Suggest that they pass a lest majeste law like thailand.....that will shut everyone up

 

[god_zeus]

Ah Loong no time to do by-election, got time to send lawyer's letter. Looks like he was right. When there is more opposition, he needs to spend more time thinking of ways to 'fix' them.

Aiyo, what he needs is just a phone call to his lawyer and the latter will do up all the necessary paper work for him. What's there to be busy with?

I think the last TRE regime is smarter. They know that they need to be anonymous to publish such article. Richard Wan seems to be more naive.

 

[geylangchickenloyangduck]

nah beh...why suddenly lawyer firms start sending letters? Clear out stocks of old letterheads ? LOL...

 

[halsey02]

Why Sam be getting lawyers letters soon? or a blanket warning from the MIW's that the people cease their nonsense...& we, will, we will find you??

 

[refulgence]

The TR Emeritus local editor who has just exposed himself is screwed bigtime.

 

[Internet Brigade]

this is much better than suing people. citizens will be afraid to criticise pappies in the long run. and yet they don't need to waste effort and time to bring you to court. in fact they would be magnanimous and let u off with a warning. it's called social conditioning.

Shut their mouths by 'knocking a few heads' is that what you mean. Good, that is good, perhaps with that over a long time, we will have a 'jasmine revolution' here. Can begin, by threathening to sue people all over the social media.

According to CNA, Richard Wan has apologized on behalf of TRE

Oh Oh! NOW everybody knows

 

[saratogas]

So TRE will be gazetted... With Richard's head tied to it...

 

[rectmobile]

can anyone post that article over here?

 

[I_hv_adream]

Aiyo I don’t understand why people here behave differently when it come to the PAP…LHL will not and cannot remain silent when he or his immediate family members got wrongly accused unlike the YSL saga – silent means consent!!!

Please prove me wrong only base on above example ha ha ha.
