PERSPECTIVE Episode 3: Citizens of Singapore
The citizens of Singapore made Political history on Easter Sunday as they reached the crowdfunding target of $133,000.
The Prime Minister Mr. Lee Hsien Loong had sued a citizen for sharing a FB post in 2018.
The Prime Minister won his court case and citizen Leong Sze Hian was ordered to pay $133k in damages for defamation to the Prime Minister.
However, Singaporean’s poured their support generously and in just 11 days the full and whole amount of $133k was received in donations.
This is an historical first in Singapore, a true victory of the people against the historically litigious PAP ruling party who have sued many critics and opponents in the past.
The day before the total was reached, Leong Sze Hian and Lim Tean answered some questions for the Peoples Voice weekly show PERSPECTIVE, during which they answered the following 15 questions. We have added the timestamps for your convenience
