Like verykiasu2010 said, we should not post anything that can't be proven. We should not start rumours. We can discuss about rumours we read elsewhere but we better don't anyhow 'endorse' those rumours if we can't substantiate it.

Nor jump to conclusions that if MSM reports it, it must be true. Need to read carefully as MSM often use : 'δΌ β€˜ meaning they also hearsay only. Right, HVR? πŸ˜‰[/quote]A prudent reader should not jump to conclusion whether the source is MSM or internet. So you are not wrong, concern2. Having said that, I feel that MSM are more responsible in their reporting as it is easier to hold them responsible than to look for some anonymous person in the internet.

I wonder why / who in their right mind would deliberately want to post defamtory remarks, knowing that they can get implicated in a lawsuit?

Largely they think they can get away with it?

TR Emeritus website flooded by defamatory comments

Netizens have inundated TR Emeritus (TRE) with defamatory comments since it apologised on Wednesday to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for an article that allegedly defamed him and his wife Ho Ching.

The sociopolitical website's editors appealed to those responsible to stop, even as they said they are pondering whether to shut it down.

'There is no need to ensure that TRE will 'meet its maker' as it is one of the options which is being seriously considered by the team,' said the editors on Thursday.

In an article on the website, they said that by 4am on Thursday, moderators had had to delete at least 300 comments that were 'outright defamatory and seditious' - six times more than what they would usually have had to remove.

The latest comments were mainly about Ms Ho and PM Lee.

The website had published an apology to PM Lee for an article that alleged cronyism in the appointment of Ms Ho as the head of Temasek Holdings, the Singapore Government's investment company.

Pointing to the ensuing deluge of comments, TRE editors said never before had they needed to remove more than 50 comments in a day.

'We have every valid reason to believe that these comments were posted intentionally to get TRE into further trouble.'They said the defamatory comments were not from their regular pool of commentators, whose monikers are largely recognisable in the website's community.

They added they would report postings deemed unlawful to the authorities. But genuine commentators need not worry about being exposed, they said.

In an earlier post on Wednesday, the editors said TRE receives 'thousands of comments' daily. Some unwarranted comments might slip through, or some moderators might accidentally let them through 'due to the limited legal knowledge they possessed', they said.

They asked readers to alert them to such incidents.

There's been another lawyer's letter. This time from Lee Hsien Yang.

Although I know all the users who post about HC do so because they are concerned about the country, we need to post with care. I believe they can trace the forum users if they really want to.

don't say thing (make allegation) you can't substantiate / prove

Definitely. That's why I defended myself in the other thread. If words are put into our mouths or we're provoked into saying things with no evidence to back us up, we might land ourselves into hot soup.

3Boys:

Nobody?

Should be an easy score right? Since the conventional wisdom appears to be that HC has been a disaster at Temasek, surely there must be ample data?
ok.. didn't expect you to be waiting for a response so I leave it as it is with you having the last say..

But since you mentioned.. I'm just curious.. heard that during GCT era, economic crisis hit Asian region.. many countries was hit but SG was essentially not much affected..

during LHL era.. economic crisis hit European region.. most Asian countries were unaffected much but SG was hit hard..

I'm not trained in economics so don't expect an analysis from me. But, have you heard about such comments?

Next, if I were to appoint a financial adviser, I don't care how he perform wrt to the others, I expect him to perform. Cannot perform, out, try another person. I want to see results, not excuses. Is that not how the corporate world works?

Now, if it is just a natural party, perhaps the public can be more forgiving.. but since her identity is quite \"Sensitive\".. and given the fact that $$$$$ was lost.. it really cast doubts abt her ability, and whether she really got in by capability.. from a objective viewpoint, isn't that a fair comment?

even if she is not a \"disaster\".. Is there really NO one else? Is there really No One Better?

WeiHan:

As I have advocated, and 3boys have read, I have been perplexed as to why TH has not put part of our reserve into gold/silver, and resources mining companies. Between 2008 and now, gold price has more than doubled.
You are far more knowledgeable than I in this area, and I defer to your opinion.

The capitalisation is back to pre crisis level. However, taking inflation into the equation, our wealth may have shrunked.


As I have advocated, and 3boys have read, I have been perplexed as to why TH has not put part of our reserve into gold/silver, and resources mining companies. Between 2008 and now, gold price has more than doubled. Surely, if that has been part of our portfolio, TH performance will have been better and with a lower risk, more diversified portfolio. this is not hindsight. TH can still make the choice today. I am glad that Tharman has finally make investment in gold GST tax free by october this year.

Strparent:

I was wondering why Insider ( i think) refer to you as a baitor in another post....now I know πŸ˜† πŸ˜†
Oh yes, I am most certainly a baitor, insofar as I try to use that to provoke a bit of thinking.

There is a lot of 'noise' around HC's competency. My view on her is equivocal, and my understanding of TH is that they ain't sooo bad, so I am truely curious as to why she receives such brickbats, apart from the fact she goes to bed with the PM (legally by the way). πŸ˜‰

Beside that, i won't consider TH a disaster since its total capitalisation was at 166 billions on March 2008 but it is already well over 180 billions to date.
