| | SW: Jeya Day 4 Foreign reports |
 | | GEORGE CARMAN, QC, yesterday said Goh Chok Tong, the Prime Minister of Singapore, and Lee Kuan Yew, his predecessor, "shot themselves in the foot" by releasing accusations over which they are now seeking legal damages. |
 | | Mr Carman said that Thomas Shields, QC, for the plaintiffs, had telephoned the previous evening to say he would be relying on newspaper reports of the trial to seek aggravated damages from Mr Jeyaretnam. |
 | | Mr Carman, in his closing argument, reminded the court that, during cross-examination, the Prime Minister testified that he was the one who had authorised the release of the police reports to the press, not Mr Jeyaretnam. |
