Defamation case should be in 'full view of Singapore public', says Shanmugam after Lee Hsien Yang suggests closed-door arbitration
Mr Lee suggested in his post on Thursday that both sides"choose an arbitrator of high international standing". In response, Mr Shanmugam noted in a Facebook post that"countless Singaporeans" have sued in the Singapore Courts for defamation that is published to the people of Singapore. "What Mr Lee really wants is special treatment. He wants to be treated differently from Singaporeans who are sued in Singapore for defamation," he added.
They noted that there had been"substantial publication and republication" of the offending words in Singapore, where various people in Singapore would have read them.
