TRE is now defending LHY against his critics, posting a clarification that Lee Hsien Yang's demands are very reasonable and urged their readers not to bash Lee Hsien Yang anymore. Amazing, one lawsuit, and now they are busom buddies. Note that TRE has not come clean on two nagging issues:
1. Has TRE betray writer Matthew Chua by giving his info to Lee's lawyer?
2. TRE claimed that they have came to an "amicable settlement", and no money was involved. So what was being exchanged for Lee to drop the lawsuit? Has TRE turned all the IP addresses of its members and readers to the Lee's lawyers?
Lee Hsien Yang's demands not unreasonable: TRE
SINGAPORE - The Temasek Review Emeritus (TRE) posted a clarification on their site stating that Mr Lee Hsien Yang did not make any unreasonable demands of them or ask for any monetary compensation.
In the posting, made on Sunday night, TRE said that a Straits Times report that ran on February 25 gave a false impression that Mr Lee's demands were unreasonable in that they would precipitate the shutdown of TRE.
TRE clarified that their concern was not that Mr Lee's demands would result in a shut down of the site, but that acceding to his request would have opened the floodgates for more demands in the future which would have affected the operation of the site.
"We wish to also clarify that at no time did Mr Lee demand any monetary compensation and accordingly, this was never a part of our discussion," they added.
"We regret this unhappy episode and have no intention of causing any distress to Mr Lee."
The posting ended by saying TRE does not wish to entertain any further media enquiries on this incident.
Last week, Mr Lee sent a lawyer's letter to Mr Richard Wan, one of the TRE editors who is based in Singapore, asking for a defamatory comment to be removed from the website.
TRE originally said it would fight against doing so, but has since reached a resolution with Mr Lee and has taken down the comment. TRE also posted a statement of regret.
ST reported last week that Mr Wan had said that he initially feared he might have to shut the site down if they were unable to accede to all of Mr Lee's request.
However, Mr Lee's position all along was that he only wanted TRE to remove the defamatory posting related to him from its site.
