Some even compare the Lim case to that of Singapore oppositionist TangLiangHong, who was sued by members of the ruling People's Action Party over public comments.
Mr Lee had provoked these outbursts with an affidavit submitted to a court in connection with a series of defamation suits against TangLiangHong, a Singaporean opposition politician.
Still, TangLiangHong, presumably in London, has not ruled out going home to face the music, namely 13 defamation suits launched by eleven politicians from the ruling People's Action Party (PAP).
