A leading Singapore opposition politician on Thursday urged the Far Eastern Economic Review to contest a defamation suit filed by two of the city-state's top leaders, saying the effort would help promote free expression.
"I hope FEER will seriously fight this matter and not bow to the Lees," said Chee Soon Juan, whose recent interview in the publication led to the suit by Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore's prime minister, and Lee Kuan Yew, his father and independent Singapore's first leader.
