Statement by DPM Teo Chee Hean in response to the Public Statement by Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang

I note that Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang have stated on 6 July 2017 that they welcome Mr Lee Hsien Loong’s desire, stated on 4 July 2017, to manage the disagreement in private. Like most Singaporeans, I regard this as a positive development. 

With regard to Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang’s allegations against the Ministerial Committee, public agencies and public officers, the Government has already responded comprehensively to all of them in Parliament. 

With this development, I hope that we can all work together and focus our energy on taking Singapore forward.
