Former CNA Reporter Alleges That PM Lee Disliked Being Questioned On Ho Ching's Salary, Wonders When He Will Resign

Haseenah Koyakutty, a former reporter with Channel News Asia, divulged on her Twitter account (@HaseenahKoya) of a prior experience she had interviewing Lee Hsien Loong (LHL) in 2004, and questioning him about the salary of his wife, Ho Ching, and the potential conflict of interest arising out of their respective appointments.

She alleged that a kind civil servant who was also present during the media conference had told her that LHL had "[gone] ballistic after the media question time".

This was before LHL became PM.

Haseenah's revelation was in response to a tweet by Reform Party's Kenneth Jeyaretnam who lamented on the perceived lack of transparency on Ho Ching's salary.
