SINGAPORE — A Singapore political website late Thursday apologised to the brother of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for a comment posted by a reader which it admitted was defamatory.
Temasek Review Emeritus (TRE) said the comment was left on its website by the reader who was reacting to an article published late last month and that it had no intention to defame company executive Lee Hsien Yang, the premier's younger brother.
