Dear Sir,

Your lawyer's attempt to dispute the record of the proceedings during Monday's session before Judge Belinda Ang (12 May 2008) is a very serious matter.

The dispute is over whether Judge Belinda Ang has agreed that "there will be latitude" given to the defendants to cross-examine you and Mr Lee Hsien Loong during the hearing for the assessment of damages.

It was our fear of such disputes that we wanted the preliminary applications to be heard in open court. Your counsel, however, objected to this. Now he is contesting that the Judge has agreed to allow us the latitude to cross-examine you in the witness box.

In order to avoid such further disputes, we are applying to the courts to have the hearing on 22 May 2008 to stike out our AEICs held in open court where the public and media can attend, and where arguments and proceedings can be audio-digitally recorded.

May I remind you of your own words in an interview you gave to Time magazine in 2005: "If you defame us, we're prepared to sue you, go into the witness box and be cross-examined. You can brief the best lawyers and demolish us. If I'm involved, I go to the witness box. And you can question me, not only on the particular defamatory issue, but all issues in my life."

It seems strange then that your lawyer should be so concerned that we would have latitude to cross-examine you. This may explain why your actions don't seem to match your words. Here's why:

First, you went for summary judgment in your suit with Mr Goh Chok Tong against me in 2001 so that the case did not go to trial and you did not take the stand.

Second, you went for summary judgment again in the present suit thus avoiding going to the witness box yet again.

Third, you now want to strike out our AEICs for the hearing to assess damages and you oppose this hearing to be held in open court where the public can hear and see for themselves all the arguments in play.

Finally your lawyer objects, outside court, to the fact that there will be latitude for us to cross-examine you and your son.

You must admit that all these steps taken by you and your lawyer leaves the impression that you are anxious to avoid an open and full cross-examination in court. To eradicate such an impression please do not place any more obstacles in our effort to fully and comprehensively cross-examine you.

You can do this by instructing Mr Singh to, one, support our application to have the 22 May hearing conducted in open court (at the very least, he should not oppose it) and, two, to clearly tell Judge Ang that we should have full latitude to question you because you are more than capable of handling the questions while in the witness box.

Anything less, and your words "If I'm involved, I go to the witness box. And you can question me, not only on the particular defamatory issue, but all issues in my life" will be the source of much derision.

We, the defendants, and the Singaporean public await your response.

Sincerely,

Chee Soon Juan

Dear Sirs,

1. We refer to your e-mail dated 14 May 2008.

2. The learned Judge did not say that there will be latitude to cross examine.

3. Your application for an open court hearing was unsuccessful. We will oppose any attempt to revisit it.

Yours faithfully,

If Lee Kuan Yew will not even do what he had claimed he will do in that interview (taking the witness stand), shouldn't this Summary Judgment be declare null and void due to the ground that a man who does not keep his own words have not much of a reputation to speak of in the 1st place.

How do you defamed a man with such questionable reputation then?

Thu 15 May 2008 4:34 PM | Anonymous

Perhaps now he regrets giving that interview.

Thu 15 May 2008 4:49 PM | mike Chan - Mrs LKY seriously ill in hospital

CNA news just out that Mrs LKY had a brain haemorrhage (stroke) and is now warded at TTS hospital. Looks like the 22May hearing will be further pponed.....

Thu 15 May 2008 4:58 PM | Rick

He's a coward. Period

Thu 15 May 2008 4:59 PM | Paul Poh

I admire Lee Kuan Yew.

He is so despised in Singapore and his name is so black in foreign countries that he still tries to defend his reputation.

Futile effort, yes, but Lee Kuan Yew still has the fighting spirit to crush his opponents.

[quote]CNA news just out that Mrs LKY had a brain haemorrhage (stroke) and is now warded at TTS hospital. Looks like the 22May hearing will be further pponed.....[/quote]

How can they even consider to have the date postpone at all? Chee Soon Juan's lawyer was sicked and they had refused to postpone the date then, what's more this is Lee Kuan Yew's personal matter and it should not have any influence on court proceedings.

Beside, based on the minutes taken place in her chamber earlier, Belinda Ang and the Singh lawyer appeared to be speculating that Chee Soon Juan is trying to play delay tactics, will she draw this same conclusion on Lee Kuan Yew as well?

Belinda Ang, please be fair in this case. Do not apply double standard.

Alternatively, Lee Kuan Yew should consider dropping this case against Chee Soon Juan. You reap what you sowed and you might just be able to redeem yourself and do some good for your wife.

Thu 15 May 2008 6:05 PM | | seebeng - Now we know the reason for postponement?

At the High Court on Monday, there was so much hype about Lee Hsien Loong turning up to be cross-examined. But late in the afternoon of that day, the judge decided to adjourn hearing to 22 May after receiving a note from unknown source.

According to a CNA report today it was on Monday that Mrs Lee Kuan Yew was taken to hospital in serious condition after suffering a stroke.

Thu 15 May 2008 8:13 PM | Dingo

Yup she was sent to hospital on Monday. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/347991/1/.html

Thu 15 May 2008 11:23 PM | mike Chan - LOOKS LIKE 1+1=2

Mr Seebeng's last para refers. Yes indeed, the jigsaw pieces are now fitting in. The sudden serious stroke of Mrs LKY on monday (news of which was only released on thurs night) must have been the reason Judge Ang was suddenly called to take an urgent call in her private room (to delay and postpone the hearing to a later date). But why the ruse of a "security interference" and ordering the shut-off of all cellphones which had already been silenced? So drama mama one and insulting our intelligence!

Fri 16 May 2008 12:22 AM | Attach all the way

The virtue of Wing Chung Kung Fu is that if the opponent is injured, keep attacking his weak and injured part.

Now LKY's wife is dying, he and his dragon son are in depression and weak in spirit, so keep attacking them.

Get them to appear in open court. Fix the date and funeral service no excuse for not attending court as witnesses.

Just like the Lee's lawyer said even Dr. Chee is in jail he must attend the court proceeding. And last yr Dr. Chee was not allowed to visit his sick father-in-law.

So Dr. Chee give them back their own medicine. Show no mercy.

Now is the time. Opportunity does not twice. Keep pressing for the open court hearing.

Get FEER to do the same. Involve the international legal circle to press for open court.

Get the Singapore Human Rights, the Gays, Burmese and the Fulong Kung to stage whatever protests they can think off this week-ends or next week-ends.

Organize a "Catch Mas Slamat" protest..for the security of all Singaporeans.

Stage wild cat protests in all Orchard Road, Parliament, Tao Payoh, Ang Moi Kio etc...go in team of 3s this Sat and Sun.

In the Chinese Tsu Tou war, when the enemy is angry, make them more angry. When their camp is on fire, set more fire. You get the point.

Don't worry about hitting them below the belt...it's their own medicine after all.

Go all out now!!!!!

Ah Choo has nothing to do with this court case.

People should not be taken away by this piece of family news and postpone the date. Old people get sick and die--it is a norm.

DR Chee and friends should continue pressing for an open-court fight. This case concerns the future of singapore, and the future of our local generations to come.

I tell you what, people in the streets are betting when Ah Choo would go up the lorry. I can sense the humogous hatred among the local lot.

Ah yew and son should show their courage to fight DR Chee.

Fri 16 May 2008 1:59 AM | Singapore Democrats

Dear readers,

We are aware of the anger many Singaporeans have towards Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his family for what they have done to the people and the opposition in Singapore.

However, we ask that you refrain from personal attacks against Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who has taken ill.

We do not wish to sink to the level of Mr Lee Kuan Yew who has victimised not only his opponents but our families as well.

Whenever he detains an opposition leader or makes his opponent a bankrupt, he punishes the victim's entire family.

We believe justice will be done one day. But it will not be done by unkindly attacks on Mrs Lee.

Fri 16 May 2008 3:20 AM | AleeBaba - LKY dun have the BALLS! He is a COWARD!

LKY is a COWARD hiding behind the Kangaroo Court.

Listen to what Said Zahari and Dr. Lim Hock Siew have said. Tribute to them for the years of suffering under ISA detention.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hVcPYFMZ_4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XfvMfjdHGQ

If LKY want to proof Said Zahari wrong he should fight in open court to be cross examined as he have said as above.

Show us you are not a COWARD!

Fri 16 May 2008 4:49 AM | nick

perhaps csj should cut lky some slack. afterall his wife in hospital. if he dont come to ct den i think its understandable

Fri 16 May 2008 5:14 AM | Mike - Respect for LKY

I don't think the SDP is fighting for Singaporeans.

They are only fighting for themselves in the guise of democracy and human rights.

And then foolishly, they defamed MM LEE and the PM.

Why is Workers' Party doing so well? Because they are a credible party that tries to help Singaporeans.

The WP never defames LKY.
The WP is there to serve Singaporeans.

For those people who knows little about how much the PAP contributed to the founding of Singapore in the early years, pls take a look at these:

http://www.nhb.gov.sg/NAS/1stcab/highlights1.htm

http://www.a2o.com.sg/a2o/public/html/publication.jsp

The reason why most older Singaporeans still respect LKY is because they know that he is really a great leader that shaped Singapore from a colonial state to a well known and respected nation in the world.

SDP talking about human rights. Singapore is no North Korea or some less developed Asian countries.

Human right means you can travel overseas for tour or study when you feel like it. Can't you do travelling?

Can't you go Geylang?

You have all the human rights okay here in Singapore.

Fri 16 May 2008 5:48 AM | John Launder

I note that LKY's wife has just suffered a stroke. Whilst I can understand the anger of some of the comments calling for digging it into LKY because he apparently has shown no respect for opponents when they had health or other problems, I believe that you should not behave in such way yourself. In all of this there is the moral argument. Although you might be political enemies of LKY for good reasons, show your true humanity by being prepared to respect his grief and anguish at this time. You must never wish your enemies personal grief or personal harm. This is not the way to create a better society.

Fri 16 May 2008 6:00 AM | Paul Poh

We must not be like Lee Kuan Yew.

If we use the tactics of Lee Kuan Yew, people will despise us as well.

I pray and hope Mrs Lee recovers soon.

I have nothing against her.

It is Lee Kuan Yew that is the target.

Lee Kuan Yew is the one.

We cannot sink to the level of Lee Kuan Yew.

We will only disgrace ourselves.

As had SDP, John Launder and others had said, let's not adopt the gutter tactics of the PAP and rise above them. For those who believe in Karma and are religious, eventually, everyone will be called to account for their actions despite their justifications. What will be their legacy? Wealth, fame and power over the down trodden?

Fri 16 May 2008 7:24 AM | ahlow

Yes, of course Ah Choo is not Ah yew and Ah Yew is not Ah Choo. No one dispute this holy fact.

But we hope Ah Choo's health problems cannot be the main concern of the public and people should not be distracted to encouraging Ah yew and son to fight Dr Chee gentlemanly.

Do people just show compassion for Ah Choo, forget about justice, and ask Dr Chee and friends to pay the damages.

I think it is a very natural instinct to hating someone as well as his or her equal. We have to accept it.
Think about it, do people at ivory -tower think about car owners' plight, their livelihood when they build ERP gantries like nobody business? Look at the pump price! They care about your children???

In singapore, all things are connected.
Will the ministers suffer with the peasants, let say, take home pay $10,000 during bad days ? The anwer is no. There is no mercy among the singapore climate. This country is built this way unless one day when the sky opens up.

Do we still look to 60's to shape the singapore future? Do we still dwell in the 60's to teach our young? We cannot live in the first world and still want live our mind in the 60's, will it bring true wealth? Anyway, who benefit the most in the first world singapore???

From my point of view, creating a better society is about form policies good to the people and not about hating AH CHoo.

OK lah, let say SDP and friends show love and compassion to Ah Choo, be nice to Ah Yew---chamber chmaber ok lah !

If Ah Choo recovers well soon, will Ah yew and son show compassion to Dr Chee and friends ??? What say you???

I still believe that if people hate Ah YEW, it is alright to hate Ah Choo. Talking about Ah Choo may be the best deal to bring Ah yew to the battleground, this kind of war tactic is quite common in ancient china.

But the main point is whether Ah yew is brave enough to face DR Chee and friends gentlemanly.

Afterwhich, do we still say, oh, Ah yew is old, we must forgive him.
Shit, then might as well we help Dr Chee to pay and close the matter.

finally it here , see retribution always happen to ur dearest family instead of the person who do bad. pity her suffering . still i support open court !! right let them taste their own bitter pill . bite the bullet and push on. OPEN COURT

Fri 16 May 2008 8:39 AM | elitocracy - Grace

I don't wish another LKY in the form of CSJ.

Why do so many people detest him?

1. Because he plays foul.
- He destroys the independence of the judiciary. He removed indep minded judges such as Michael Khoo. He abolished appeals to Privy Council so that he can have absolute control over this little island.
- He literally re-assembled the newspaper industry and created SPH.
- He destroyed the labour union movement and replaced it with NTUC.
- He destroys any other pocket of independent power, e.g. Law Society.
- He creates rules to suit himself. There are so many rules that have created for his sole usage. ISA, OSA, Films Act, GRC etc etc. He crafted legislations so that companies like GIC and Temasek can remain shrouded in secrecy.

2. Because he is vindictive.
- He destroys opponents, hurt their families and cast fear into his supporters.

So should we hammer him when he is down?
After all he deserve it, doesn't he?

No. Then you are just as mean spirited as LKY himself.

Instead please consider this seriously. If they ask for adjournment because of Mrs LKY illness, be gracious enough to support them.

Think Gandhi, think Mandela. They are great not because they can destroy their opponents. But because they can shame their opponents.

Fri 16 May 2008 9:23 AM | | seebeng - Why only now?

What happened to the "understanding" when lawyer Ravi was taken ill and the Chees asked for postponement?

Not only justice Ang did not allow for a delay in hearing but went further to cast aspersions on the integrity of Ravi, his doctor and the Chees. She did it together with Davinder Singh, lawyer for the Lees in her chambers.

Did Lee Kuan Yew cut anybody any slack at all when he deals with them regardless of their circumstances? No? I guess that settles my point.

He reaps what he sowed.

Death comes to everyone even if it is LKY and his family.

Fri 16 May 2008 11:54 AM | Paul Poh

Lee Kuan Yew set a very bad example for political development in Singapore.

I truely and deeply despise this man Lee Kuan Yew.

If I say that Lee Kuan Yew is the second most despised man in Singapore, no one can say that there is another man worthly of being the first.

The level of hatred towards this man in Singapore is too profound and deep for foreigners and outsiders to notice or understand.

Fri 16 May 2008 12:40 PM | Reverse Logic to Nick

perhaps lky should cut csj some slack. afterall he is bankrupted and his passport impounded. if lky drops the defamation suit altogether den i think its understandable

Fri 16 May 2008 2:03 PM | G Chen

In his memoir, LKY considered his wife as his "intellectual equal, who has given him intellectual and emotional support".

Fri 16 May 2008 3:07 PM | Paul Poh

I consider Lee Kuan Yew to be a poor intellectual.

This is clear from the way Singapore intellectual life developed under his rule.

It has been totally crippled.

A third rate intellectual is how I rate him.

But as a propagandist, I rate him highly.

He can fool a lot of people with his propaganda.

But he cannot fool me.

There is a saying "Do unto others what you want others to do to you"

I am not surprise at all the sentiments of some people when such things happen to famiLee. Especially when special methods used by FamiLee against some, what FamiLee would consider, undesirable citizens.

Since it happen to CSJ and his lawyer, when the FamiLee court refuse to postpone their hearing due to heath reason, then CSJ should also request for refusal to postpone. As in FamiLee's case, there is no reason to postpone......

Sat 17 May 2008 4:10 AM | CHUA CHUAN SEAH - The Disingenuous PAP Government

The PAP Government withholds vital information from Singaporeans. It gives a false impression of sincerity to the people. It is not frank. It is cunning, artful, deceitful, devious, dishonest, duplicitous, insidious, shifty, two-faced and wily.

Sat 17 May 2008 4:26 AM | LIM TUNG HEE - Singaporeans' Trial

The trial is one about our Singaporeans' right to know the truth whether Dr.Chee and Siok Chin had indeed misled the public in their comments on the issue of PAP's governance over NKF.
Since Lee Kuan Yew and Lee Hsien Loong have considered themselves as the victims of the "slander" ,then they must stand up to face the public in an open trial to dispel any misconstrued notions;if any as claimed.
As leaders of Singapore, they must openly face the citizens to prove that they are above board in any libel suits or mattters concerning the country they run.
Running away from clarification will ultimately create doubts and suspicions on the minds of those they govern.
Of course meanwhile, they have the right to postpone the hearing to a later date as their loved one is in critical medical condition.
The opposition in representing the public in the NKF issue must now show magnamimity in this case and not be seen as uncompassionate or Machiavellian.
Afterall, it's all about how we Singaporeans are judged by the people outside this little country.

If there is no open court, I will despise Lee Kuan Yew even more.

He will be a political coward like Said Zahari commented.

I don't see a reason why there can't be an open court hearing.

Lee Kuan Yew is already quite despised already in Singapore, by having open court, maybe people will respect Lee Kuan Yew.

That is my opinion.

So there should be open court hearing.

Sat 17 May 2008 10:04 AM | Henry Windgates

I had to agree with others on settling this case in an open court. Moreover, I can already get the vibe that the democracy in Singapore is a sham rather than a real one.

Good job at bamboozling people with your propaganda, Lee. But thankfully I am not one of them.

Open court is one thing, an unbiased report by the media uncles and aunties is another thing.

I will gentlemanly salute LKY and son if the case is heard in open court and the local mass media give a wider and bigger coverage like the NFK saga, in all kinds of papers.

If all these are done, name a place, i will salute both of LKY and son gentlemanly, not forgetting the media aunties and uncles.

lets fight gentleman, blood for blood.

Tue 20 May 2008 5:32 AM | | Gopalan Nair - Why all this request for "latitude"

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Perhaps I am not understanding something, but there is a great deal of debate about whether Judge Ang should give the Defendants "latitude" in cross examining. Why should Dr. Chee even ask for latitude? Is not Dr. Chee entitled as of right, to ask every relevant question and as many of them? As long as they are relevant, Judge Ang has no right to limit such questions. The right to cross examine is a right, not a privilege for the judge to give. In this case, since every aspect of the Lee's character both public and private is in issue, the Defendants are entitled to ask as many questions as they want. So why the need to ask Judge Ang for "latitudde" in cross examining? And why is Ravi making an issue of this? Will Ravi now come out with an explanation forthwith?

I am puzzled, unless there is something else I do not know.

Wed 21 May 2008 3:53 AM | Joe Liberty - Mr

This case clearly exposes the cheap travesty of justice that is played out in that 'rogue Chinese port city', as it has been described by Gough Whitlam, an ex-Australian Prime Minister.

The greatest shame is that the cowardly father and son team behave as if that city-state belongs to their family.

The shame of it all is furthered by a turbaned Sikh who volunteers himself to be used as a tool of injustice, cruelty, and extreme wickedness, by the evil father and son. By doing so, this over-rated Sikh lawyer, is defying the tenets of his own religion where Guru Gobind Singh fought tyranny and injustice all his life!

It goes to show how unprincipled men, for the sake of money, can abandon all ethics and civility for the sake of money.

That whole country is powered by greed, corruption, hypocricy, cronyism, and unprincipled men who sell themselves for money. For their own selfish interests and for their self-gain in the short-term they have laid the foundations for the future complete destruction of Singapore!

The end result of such mis-rule is anarchy, revolution, and total disorder resulting in human suffering and the total collapse of government machinery and law and order.

History has demonstrated again and again how such sickly run countries have hit turbulence of a scale that has pushed them onto the path of regression. Russia, Indonesia, Philippines, Rumania etc.

Lee Kuan Yew and his son are both shameless cowards who have been suppressing their own citizens for half a century and denying them even the basic right of pursuit of happiness!

These cowards should be shown no mercy as they showed none to others. I hope the fate that befell the Ceausescus will befall these ugly swines and their cronies!

Certainly wouldn't take me more than a couple of minutes to write a script to do that.

Fri 23 May 2008 7:35 PM | kingfisher

My two cents' worth is that LKY is such a sly old fox that no cross-exam is going to rattle him. C'mon, he was a brilliant lawyer against the British QCs. He knows the law like the back of his hand. If he doesnt want to be cross-examined by Chee, it's because the man hates and despises Chee so much that he is not going to stand being humiliated in the box or to honour him or dignify him with that opportunity.

Fri 23 May 2008 7:49 PM | Anonymous

As much as i do not agree with what LKY, son and cronies are doing to Singapore, i wish his wife a speedy recovery. For the old man himself and i pray that he outlives his sons.
