PM Lee's Lawsuit Threat is a Serious Strategic Mistake

[Confuseous]

Such lawyers' letters only serve to draw far more attention to the allegations than there originally was in the first place. Perhaps only a few thousand people read the original article on TR Emeritus, but now that the lawsuit threat has been splashed on national headline news, everybody knows about it!

Such lawyers' letters make PM Lee and K Shanmugam come across as insecure individuals who need to hide behind the threat of legal action, rather than confident people with nothing to hide. A truly secure person would not feel bothered about unfounded allegations and only needs to state the truth and move on.

Exactly, like rubbing salt into open wounds.

It's like the Emperor's New Clothes. You know the emperor is naked, but you don't dare to say it directly to him.

It is also an elaborate attempt to pretend that Ho Ching got her job purely by her own merits.
