ATTACK ON THE PRESS BY THE MEMBER FOR POTONG PASIR

Dr Yeo Ning Hong: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday during the Committee of Supply debate on the Ministry of Communications and Information, I pointed out that if the Member for Potong Pasir was going to run down an individual outside of this House, I suggest that he be man enough to repeat whatever he said outside the House. He said, "I will repeat it if I know the exact words."

Sir, I submit a transcript of yesterday's debate giving the Member's speech right up to the time when I raised the point. If the Member is man enough, he should repeat his speech outside the House to allow the journalist who was attacked to defend himself.

Sir, I submit the transcript.
