Reading this Robert Boxwell's supercilious sycophantic( apparent desperate attempt to kiss LHL's ass) article titled "Parliament, not Facebook, the proper forum for Oxley Road dispute" in today's ST, makes me wonder what this egregious angmoh toady seeks to gain from LHL & Co.?!

Again I give credit to Han Fook Kwang for having the balls to come out and call it like he see's it. No other local establishment elite seems to have done likewise in the public domain thus far( I stand corrected), not even an apparent 'ex- establishment elite' like Cherian George.
"....The second issue of public concern is about the Prime Minister being accused by his siblings of all sorts of serious transgressions. They say he has misused and abused his powers, using the state to pursue his personal agenda, including spying on them. In other words, they accuse him of being corrupt. They also say he has lied and misrepresented the late Mr Lee over what he said about demolishing the house after his death.
Under normal circumstances, PM Lee would not allow these statements to go unchallenged and he would have had to sue the defamers in a court of law. If he does not, he will find it difficult to sue anyone in future even if they accuse him of the most blatant corruption and dishonesty.
But the PM also knows that it would be fatal for him politically to sue his own brother and sister. The fallout from it and the court case would damage him permanently. It is also a highly risky business because you have to be prepared for your character and all your actions to be closely scrutinised in court. The People's Action Party leaders know this better than anyone because it was once their preferred method of dealing with their political opponents. Indeed, the party's success is founded on the claim that its leaders are men of the highest integrity and that it will go to the ends of the earth to protect that reputation.
Since he will not sue, the matter has now become a full blown political battle. Mr Lee Hsien Yang has taken to social media and the foreign press to argue his case and it is nothing less than that the Singapore system has become corrupted under his brother's rule. In his latest interview with the South China Morning Post, he said: "Singapore's social compact under Lee Kuan Yew was - civil liberties may be curtailed, but in return your government will respect the rule of law and be utterly beyond reproach." He said this social compact was now broken and accused his brother of being ready to use his "public powers to achieve his personal agenda"....."
The proper forum is a SINGAPORE COURT OF LAW, plain and simple.
One that LHL, GCT and the late Harry were so happy and adamant to use previously against any person/entity who allegedly defamed them.
Oh and btw, HC needs to sue as well!
