I object most strongly to your defamatory charge that our web-site contained defamatory materials against your firm, your lawyers and yourself. There may have been a “mischievous” (as you term it), statement about your husband. He is a political figure, and in America, we are free to comment on public figures from any nation. There were no vicious statements against your daughter; I cited only her position of privilege—a fact.

You state, “I found on 5 July 2002 that you had copied that offensive email to at least one extremely important government leader in Singapore, and this must have been done deliberately to cause harm to my husband and me.”

This is not the case, at all. I sent an email to the most important government leader, and some others. This was done to make Singapore’s leaders aware of the terrible impression you are creating for Singapore...You must learn to bear the consequences of your actions.

Our book defames no one. We have over twenty boxes of documents and tape recordings (some recent) to back it up. In addition, our book was carefully vetted by several lawyers.

A careful read of the chapter entitled The Scam of 69 Holland Road will show that it is very carefully worded. You are barely mentioned. The fact that Goldplus was set up by two very junior lawyers (at the time) in your firm doesn’t mean that Lee Teng Jin was a client of your firm, nor do we say it.

We do not say who the Goldplus directors were working for, only that what was done was wrong. However you do admit that your firm did incorporate Goldplus Investment Pte Ltd.

Whether or not you knew it or consented to it, the fact that your firm incorporated Goldplus, plus the fact that your lawyers were the original shareholders of Goldplus attaches to Goldplus the prestige of your firm’s reputation. This is all that was said in the book. We do not know, nor do we claim that you were involved in this matter.
