PM Lee sends lawyer's letter to editors of TR Emeritus
By Tessa Wong
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday sent a lawyer's letter to the editors of the TR Emeritus (TRE) sociopolitical website, asking for a post alleging cronyism in the appointment of Madam Ho Ching as head of Temasek Holdings to be taken down.
Madam Ho is PM Lee's wife.
He also asked for an apology to be posted on the website by Feb 24, and which must remain on the website for the same number of days as the offending post had been.
In addition, he also wanted the TRE editors to give a written confirmation by Feb 23 that they would comply, failing which he would start legal proceedings against them.
