被李显龙总理告诽谤的时评人梁实轩,将在诉讼时为自己辩护。 他在今日告知本社,基于法律因素,目前无法对正进行诉讼过程的案件发表评论,但他希望,国人对于国内重大课题,以及政府许多开销的质疑,能获得解答。 他形容,从现金流的角度来看,何以我国政府,似乎是全球唯一的政府,在养老金、公共住宅和医疗保健等方面没有任何开支,与此同时,在这些领域的每年“收入还多过支出”? 他说,过去二十载撰写了数千文章、报章专栏、演讲稿和抗议书,向政府问责和寻求透明化,但从未得到任何实质回应。 询及是否有聘请代表律师,梁实轩则回答将为自己辩护。 “我有最好的辩护律师—新加坡人民。”他如此说道。 梁实轩在11月8日,分享了分享了马来西亚新闻网站TheCoverage.my的文章,有关文章与一马公司弊案有关。 有关文章指《砂拉越报告》主编克莱尔,在接受访谈时指出在一马公司弊案中,新加坡和瑞士及美国,成了调查对象。但较后《砂》已澄清有关文章内容不实,要求STR纠正。 在11月10日,梁实轩收到了资媒局(IMDA)的通令,要求他在六小时内撤下有关贴文,他也照做无误。 在11月12日,德尊(新加坡)法律事务所致函梁实轩,要求他对总理李显龙公开道歉,并赔偿后者名誉损失。
