李显扬请前总检察长出山 为林学芬辩护

总理弟弟李显扬今早在脸书发文,透露前总检察长温长明教授,已同意代表其妻子林学芬进行辩护。 今年初,总检察署针对李显扬妻子林学芬,为建国总理李光耀准备遗嘱一事,向新加坡律师公会提呈逾500页的投诉信。李显扬说,上述指控也重复了过去总理提出的投诉,当时他的私人律师就是现任总检察长黄鲁胜。 不过,黄鲁胜已回避处理林学芬可能专业行为失当一事,事件改由副总检察长余文正负责。 李显扬在帖文中表示乐见温长明的襄助,期许他在法律事项提供指引和协助。 总检察署指林学芬作为专业律师,在位李光耀准备遗嘱一事,有失职之嫌的表面证据,表面触犯法律专业(专业行为规章)第25节条文和第46节条文。 当局认为,林学芬在李光耀最后一份遗嘱,以李显扬作为受益人的情况下准备遗嘱,并安排李光耀执行,而李显扬获得的份额有增加。 但此前李显扬已回应,其妻子从未担任李光耀的律师,父亲的遗嘱在五年前就已执行。当父亲完成遗嘱后,告知全家和他的律师,遗嘱由李&李律师事务所保管。 黄鲁胜2017年1月出任总检察长。他担任李显龙私人律师期间,曾代表李显龙向李玮玲和李显扬发出律师信,反对他们与国家文物局所订立的赠与契据的条款。 温长明08-10年任总检察长 温长明教授在2008年4月17日上任总检察长,致2010年,由立杰律师事务所(Rajah & Tann)的管理合伙人梅达顺(Sundaresh…
