No, why lawyer not acting for her....she is...what u call that....actual aggrieved party, ya?Nebbermind:
Didn't follow the whole episode....why was the lawyer acting for the PM when the slander was on HC? She is in a high enough position to act for herself, ya?
Davinder Singh, Drew & Napier.
HC is not a lawyer by training. -

Yes, insider, I understand what you mean. But in this case, its not so much about HC being self-sacrificial, but about whether there is a potential loss of a talented individual (whatever what one may think of her ability). I think from the exchange between PM, Dhana (to the extent that it can be believed) seem to have dealt with the perception issue to some degree.Not say that ALL related to influential people cant work in positions lah, esp if those positions are held prior to that person coming into power instead of after.
Taking all other relatives of the Lee holding high offices apart, we talk about HC's role in LHL's political career.
If you were HC, what would you do as a wife? To head TH is a big thing but to aid LHL to continue with a higher voting is a bigger thing in my eyes or they are equally big? I just want to hear from others' point of view on this issue (no right or wrong answer like whether someone wants to be a SAHM coz is a 'grey' area).
I am on the fence on this one. Private companies can be quite a lot stricter on potential conflicts-of-interest than the g'ment tends to be. Unfortunately for HC, there is almost no job she can do in Singapore that will not to be perceived to have some kind of conflict-of-interest. -

He is also an aggrieved party by association.
One of d consideration for d amount of damages to be awarded
in a defamation suit is how big is d plaintiff's reputation n
how much damage is caused to dat reputation.
On both counts, PM is greater.
Dat's my reading. -

Let the truth prevails then ....
But I really pity the people related to the high profile / high ranking, aka A-listers. If these people are truly capable high flyers, there will always be a faction who will never give them due credit, except to think they reach where they are because they are related to the A-listers.
And the results? how many billions was that ar....? lost count..
capable.. indeed.. -

If I may add, PM has not asked for damages in this case. If I may further add, the damages awarded to all govt leaders for all previous suits were all donated to charities.
