Mr Lee wrote:"My post was made in the UK. If K Shanmugam and V Balakrishnan believe that they have a real case, then they should sue me in the UK."
His statement, published on Facebook this evening , comes days after Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam and Foreign Affairs Minister, Vivian Balakrishnan said they will take legal action against Mr Lee for making defamatory allegations regarding their rental of two black-and-white bungalows at Ridout Road.
Asserting that these allegations are false, Mr Shanmugam said: “We have asked him to apologise, withdraw his allegations and pay damages, which we will donate to charity. If he does not do so, we will sue him.” Pointing to the exact phrasing he used in his 23 July post, Mr Lee said today: “Shanmugam and V Balakrishnan are wrong about what I said. My post did not assert that Shanmugam and V Balakrishnan acted corruptly or for personal gain by having SLA give them preferential treatment by illegally felling trees without approval and also having SLA pay for renovations for them.
