The Singapore Prime Minister’s Press Secretary and State-Controlled Media Lied about What My Lawyer and I Said“)
However, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s press secretary Chang Li Lin lied about what my lawyer and I said.
Media also lied?
The state-controlled media also lied by carrying her statement.
However, this is not true.
I have never said that I do not want to be cross-examined.
In fact, I have told my lawyer that I am ready to be cross-examined and to also cross-examine the prime minister.
Not only that, Ms Chang also changed her initial statement.
“PM Lee stands ready to be cross-examined, a position he has maintained right from the beginning” – changed to “a position he has earlier communicated to the Court.”?
In her initial statement, she said, “PM Lee stands ready to be cross-examined, a position he has maintained right from the beginning.”
However, she later changed the statement to say, “PM Lee stands ready to be cross-examined, a position he has earlier communicated to the Court.”
Why did Ms Chang initially said that the prime minister was ready to be cross-examined “right from the beginning” to “a position he has earlier communicated to the Court”?
So, he did not actually agree to be cross-examined “right from the beginning”?
Moreover, why did Ms Chang and the state-controlled media put words into my mouth?
In fact, I have told the media who attended today’s hearing and pre-trial conference that I am ready to be cross-examined.
The Straits Times, Today and Zaobao were there today. So were free and more respectable media AFP and The Online Citizen.
The state-controlled media were there today but why did they carry an inaccurate statement by the prime minister’s secretary?
This is not the first time that the state-controlled media has put words into my mouth and attempted to put me in a bad light.”
Why quote third party who was not at the hearing?
