Lee Wei Ling clarifies that she did not retract entire post regarding new law on Contempt of Court
http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2016/08 ... -of-court/


In the post she said she had written a letter to the Straits Times in 2008 to speak out against a sentence for former CK Tang head Tang Wee Sung. He was sentenced to a day after he had tried to buy a kidney illegally.

Lee had help wording the letter from two lawyers from Allen and Gledhill, Lucian Wong and K Shanmugam (who is now the Law and Home Affairs Minister). She said that both lawyers “encouraged and supported” her to write the letter. She also said that “now being on the side of the government, Minister Shanmugam seems to see justice only from the point of view of the government and the AGC always being right.”



Lee Wei Ling takes aim at new contempt of court bill, apologises to law minister after he spoke to her to clarify, continues to take aim
