Lee Hsien Yang:Sociopolitical website TR Emeritus (TRE) has removed a defamatory comment made by a netizen about Fraser and Neave (F&N) Chairman Lee Hsien Yang.
TRE said that it "wishes to put this episode behind us and move on. We thank Mr Lee for his cooperation and understanding."
It also ran the following statement on its website:
"We, the Editorial Team of TR Emeritus, acknowledge and regret that a defamatory comment about Mr Lee Hsien Yang was placed on our website by a netizen. We had and have no intention to defame Mr Lee. We have removed the said defamatory comment from our website."
Earlier Thursday evening, human rights lawyer, Mr M. Ravi, had told a local news agency that he was no longer acting for TRE in the case involving Mr Lee.
Mr Ravi also said he did not know who was acting for TRE and what course of action they planned to take.
On their website, TRE said it "is now represented by Senior Counsel Mr Kannan Ramesh of Tan Kok Quan Partnership."
It also mentioned that Richard Wan, one of its Singapore-based editors, informed the team that negotiations were underway at the office of Stamford Law and a settlement was in view.
Previous reports said TRE intended to resist legal action from Mr Lee, suggesting that his case is different from that of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
TRE editors had earlier acknowledged receipt of the letter from Mr Lee's lawyer, who asked that they remove an allegedly defamatory comment posted by one of TRE's readers on the site.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong in a statement said that the premier and his government would like to extend their warmest congratulations to His Majesty and the Government of Brunei Darussalam on the joyous occasion of Brunei Darussalam’s 28th National Day.
“Under His Majesty’s wise and enlightened leadership, the people of Brunei Darussalam enjoy a high standard of living and strong economic growth, while remaining united by the traditions and values of Bruneian society.”
Lee Hsien Loong said it was a great pleasure to meet His Majesty over dinner during the recent visit to the 2012 Singapore Airshow. His Majesty’s visit reaffirmed the excellent ties that exist between the two countries.
“Brunei Darussalam and Singapore share a common strategic outlook on many regional and international issues. Our officials work closely in many areas, including the economy and defence. My government and I greatly appreciate His Majesty’s personal efforts to strengthen our bilateral relationship and I am similarly committed to enhancing Singapore-Brunei Darussalam ties in the years ahead.”
Lee Hsien Loong sent his best wishes for His Majesty’s good health and the continued prosperity of Brunei Darussalam.
His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Bolkiah, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Brunei Darussalam also received a congratulatory message from Singapore’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Law, K Shanmugam on the occasion of the Sultanate’s 28th National Day.
K Shanmugam noted how Singapore and Brunei enjoy long and warm ties, underpinned by the strong friendships between their leaders and robust institutional linkages. “We have cooperated closely in regional issues, especially Asean, as well as within other international platforms.
“Under Your Royal Highness’ firm and able leadership, our relationship has grown from strength to strength, and we continue to collaborate and share experiences over a wide spectrum of areas. Our two foreign ministries work closely together and have taken the lead in maintaining and strengthening various bilateral programmes, such as the Singapore-Brunei exchange visit.” K Shanmugam conveyed his best wishes for the continued happiness, good health and success to His Royal Highness.
