Lee Hsien Yang (LHY) and activist Andrew Loh last week made reference to former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s (LKY) remarks against the Law Society back in 1986 and alluded it to the ongoing debacle on the current Attorney-General Lucien Wong’s alleged legal misconduct.
The reference was extracted from a Straits Times (ST) report on 25 October 1986 titled “Report made against lawyer for alleged removal of legal files”.
In the report, a female senior partner of a Singapore law firm and her male colleague was reported to the police for alleged wrongful removal of confidential files containing legal precedents – considered an information goldmine by lawyers. While ST did not name the two lawyers, The Online Citizen suggested that the male lawyer in question is the current AGC Lucien Wong.
The matter was reported to the Law Society but it is understood that the case has been dismissed as “unmeritorious”.
