Xinhua, 20 Feb 2012Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has sent a lawyer's letter to the editors of a sociopolitical website over a post alleging cronyism in the appointment of his wife Ho Ching as head of Temasek Holdings, local media reported on Monday.
In the letter sent on Sunday, the prime minister asked for the post to be removed and the website Temasek Review Emeritus to post an apology by Feb. 24. The apology post must remain on the website for the same number of days as the offending post had.
Richard Wan, the editor to whom the letter was addressed, said on Sunday night that he was discussing the matter with other editors of the website and a statement is expected to be issued by "around lunch time" on Monday. Full story
