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

[limlim]

HVR:

No. Another rumor will start. People will say only one person needs to work to support the whole clan, where to get so much money? Dont know corrupt or not.

Not holding \"sensitive official position\" != \"Not Working\"..

SG got no \"non GLC\" private companies meh.....? :?

I thought we were talking about transparency a few threads ago? Now its okay for people to make wild allegations and the people being maligned should just shut up?

They can clarify or address the issue to the public..

Not necessarily armed with a threat to sue to the individual..

I suppose the threat is also to urge people to 'speak their minds' responsibly other than clarifying the untrue allegations. At the rate comments are flying off in the cyberspace, hiding behind an internet persona, comments have gotten bolder to the extent of irresponsible and unsubstantiated accusations. The fact that he made it a warning is already showing the thought process he has put in.

I think it'll be a shame to exclude someone capable from high office on the basis that he/she is related to another influential, just for the sake of keeping up appearances.

I Agree!!!!!!! Both hands Upz......

But I need to add a word.. added in red and bold to your statement..

we don't care if the person is related or not.. as long as he/she is capable.. but. are they?

well.. result speaks.. not recommendations by \"someone\".. Let pple judge themselves..

I'm not saying that shd be the case.. just.. a possible way to deal with it..

Exactly..

PM acceding to Dhana's request cld mean we r really short of talent

:? :?

talented... hmmmmmm...... or another word starting with t and end with t..

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.

I guess.. giving her a chance is ok.. but..............?

Already \"tried and tested\" and still in use..?

I do try and keep abreast on financial matters, but I don't claim to know enough to be a judge of HC's performance. Perhaps you have something more firsthand and substantive than the stuff that floats around in cyberspace forums? Any sorta proper benchmark you can offer up that proves HC had underperformed her role? Am happy to be convinced.

First, wat r u trying to say in ur second point?
On ur first point, dat's true.
Its a shot across d bows.
Ditto with d honourable Minister.
d fear dat u cld be sued off ur pants
is enuff to shut up many.

That they sued not to enrich themselves but to clear their names. You shouldn't be fearful if you can back up what you said. Unless you are saying something you know you can't substantiate with facts.

Going to court is another mountain to climb even if d facts r on ur side.
Let me cite u a factual example.
It happened in GE 1997.
Maybe u oredi know it but I will relate it here for d benefit of those who don't.

In GE 1997, WP filed a complaint to ED dat PAP members were found
in d polling station in Cheng San GRC on polling day.
My recollection is these were PAP elders including GCT, LHL, & TT .
Dis act goes AGAINST d Parliamentary Elections Act which
forbades ANY unauthorized persons to loiter within 200 m perimeter of d Polling Station on Polling Day.
D current Chief Justice was AG at dat time.
He filed an opinion dat they did not commit an offence since they were found INSIDE d polling station.
I ask u – they can teleport?

How many more statements about HC does PM need to make? You yourself don't seem very convinced do you? If there were no threat of a lawsuit, how tempted may you be to definitively make exactly the same accusation that has now gotten TRE into hot soup?

If it were me, I'd sue straight off the bat. Why should I waste additional time and energy on malicious comments posted by malicious people, defending myself? Only makes me look guilty, and encourages other malicious people to take a shot themselves, and it'll never end. Then all I do is responding and clarifying instead of doing my day job.
