The High Court has given the green light for the Attonery-General's Chambers (AGC) to proceed with contempt of court proceedings against Li Shengwu, the son of Lee Hsien Yang and the nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

In another stinging Facebook post against the Attorney General's Chambers of Singapore, Li Shengwu has accused the AGC of leaking details of his contempt of court case to the Prime Minister's Private Secretary!

Li Sheng Wu, grandson of Lee Kuan Yew and the son of Lee Hsien Yang, the brother of current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, has hit back at the Attorney General's Chambers by contesting his charges of "contempt of court" in a Facebook post.

Li Shengwu has responded to the AGC after it said it will look into his FB post for contempt of court. In a recent post, Li said the AGC had sent him a threatening letter without bothering to clarify with him what he meant. He explained that his post was not intended to attack the Singapore judiciary and has since amended it.

Opposition politician Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss thinks it will be interesting to see what the AGC will do to Li Shengwu for being critical of the court. "If the AGC does not take LSW to take him to task for his statement, then we know that if it is OK for LSW to say "the Singapore government is very litigious and has a pliant court system", it is OK for us to say that too".

Channel News Asia reported, “In response to media queries, the AGC said on Monday it is aware of the post and is looking into the matter.” Now, if one were to stop and think about it. Isn’t the scenario kind of weird?

In a statement by the SDP, it questioned the AGC for targeting Li Shengwu but failing to investigate charges of abuse of power by PM Lee Hsien Loong. "How the AGC handles the two issues will determine the level of public confidence in our law enforcement agency. It is crucial that the AGC treats the cases without fear or favour".

Senior minister of State for Health and Communications and Information, Mr Chee Hong Tat, has slammed Mr Li Shengwu, the son of Lee Hsien Yang and the nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who had made remarks in a "Friends Only" Facebook post in which he criticized the judiciary system in Singapore for being unfair.

Singapore's Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) is looking into a Facebook post put up by Mr Li Shengwu, the son of Li Hsien Yang and nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

The High Court dismissed Dr Tan Cheng Bock's constitutional challenge to the upcoming reserved Presidential Election. This comes after the AGC accused Dr Tan of being selfish for undermining multiracial representation and for wanting to run in the next election. Dr Tan has until next Wednesday to file a notice of appeal and has not reached a conclusion. Does this come as a surprise? Have we lost yet another hopeful candidate who can actually be our voice?
