Local human rights activist, and social worker with local NGO the Humanitarian Organisation for Migrant Workers (HOME), Jolovan Wham, is currently appealing his conviction for scandalising the judiciary.
He has found a supporter in Lee Hsien Yang, the brother of current Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong.
The Lee siblings are at odds over the will of their father concerning the house at Oxley Road.
According to his Twitter account, Wham shared that he, as part of the legal process for his appeal, had to pay a $20,000 security deposit. This deposit is not refundable if he lost the appeal.
Subsequently, Wham updated his Twitter account, thanking LHY for his generosity in paying the security deposit on Wham's behalf.
The Lee family saga has been dragging on and many Singaporeans are jaded by the drama.
This development however gives Singaporeans hope that LHY may finally decide to contest the elections to take on his brother.
We're holding our breath. When will LHL call for elections?
