So, we take this defamation Lawsuit season to strike at TRE again.
Meanwhile, our sheep is sending another lawyer letter to NZ, addressed to Sammyboy to remove undesirable comments about the LEE family.
TR Emeritus to remove allegedly defamatory comment: Lee Hsien Yang
Posted: 23 February 2012 0958 hrs
SINGAPORE: Socio-political website TR Emeritus (TRE) said it has received a letter from the lawyer of Mr Lee Hsien Yang, asking it to remove an allegedly defamatory comment posted by one of its readers about him.
Mr Lee Hsien Yang is the brother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
The TRE editorial team, which announced this on its website on Thursday, said this case is different from the one initiated by Prime Minister Lee.
It said that in the case of the Prime Minister, it had made a serious error by allowing a defamatory article submitted by a contributor to be published.
It added that it's truly sorry for the mistake and has unreservedly apologised to PM Lee for the distress and embarrassment caused to him by the false allegation in the article.
TRE said in the case of Mr Lee Hsien Yang, a reader had left a defamatory remark about him in the comment section for one of its articles published in late January.
It said that generally speaking, when a complaint is received by TRE about a comment, TRE will normally comply and delete it.
It said Mr Lee Hsien Yang is making more demands than the normal demand of simply removing the offending comment.
TRE editors felt that acceding to all his demands will seriously make running TRE site difficult in future.
They're seeking legal counsel this time and have appointed lawyer M. Ravi to handle the case.
