Second Minister for Law Edwin Tong, meanwhile, explained in parliament
After Mr Shanmugam and Dr Balakrishnan said they would sue if he did not withdraw his allegations, Mr Lee said in a Facebook post on Jul 29 that the ministers were"wrong" about what he said, adding that his post on Jul 23"simply stated facts that were already widely published in the Singapore and international media"."If K Shanmugam and V Balakrishnan believe that they have a real case, then they should sue me in the UK," he said.
Lawyers also said that should a lawsuit be filed, it is most likely that Mr Lee would have to return to Singapore to testify unless the court exercises its discretion and allows an application by Mr Lee for him to testify via video link.
