SINGAPORE – An article published by The Online Citizen (TOC) on Aug 15 has “gravely injured” the character and reputation of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, his lawyers said in court documents.
PM Lee is suing TOC chief editor Terry Xu for defamation over the article and a Facebook post, which his lawyers said contained “false and baseless” allegations, including that the PM had misled his father, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, into thinking their Oxley Road home had been gazetted by the Government.
Lawyers from Davinder Singh Chambers had served Mr Xu, 37, the writ of summons and statement of claim at his home in Choa Chu Kang on Thursday (Sept 5).
In court documents seen by The Straits Times, the lawyers charged that PM Lee has suffered loss and damage, and has been “brought into public scandal, odium and contempt”.
