'I stand by what I said. The POFMA notice is misleading. Read my actual post and compare what was said to what the notice claims I said,' he wrote on his Facebook Page
SINGAPORE: Despite being issued with a POFMA correction direction earlier today, Lee Hsien Yang put up another Facebook post standing by what he said.
Despite this, late Tuesday night Mr Lee wrote: “I stand by what I said”. He asked netizens to read his post and compare what he wrote to what the “notice claims I said”.“Did Shanmugam and Vivian rent SLA mansions? YesWere many trees cleared from these plots? Yes.” SLA invests a significant amount in maintaining conserved properties, which include 26 Ridout Road and 31 Ridout Road. SLA has spent similar, or even larger, amounts on other Black and White bungalows, consistent with conservation requirements . Most of the costs incurred for 26 Ridout Road and 31 Ridout Road were for works that external consultants had determined to be necessary, in light of the condition of the properties and to comply with the relevant conservation requirements.
Third, the post makes the statement that SPH Media Trust fraudulently inflated its circulation numbers.. The overstatement of circulation numbers happened when the media business was under SPH Limited – a listed company. This was before SMT was incorporated. When SMT took over SPH Limited’s media business, it discovered, reported, and investigated the circulation issue. The Government’s funding agreement to build up public service media capabilities was signed with SMT, and not SPH Limited.
