THERE'S no conflict of interest in the appointment of Lucien Wong as Attorney-General (AG) and Hri Kumar Nair as Deputy AG, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Parliament.
He was responding to questions raised by Workers' Party chairman Sylvia Lim and other MPs from WP over the propriety of appointing PM Lee's former lawyer, Mr Wong, and former People's Action Party MP Mr Nair to their current roles in the Attorney-General's office. Lee Hsien Yang had also previously singled out Mr Wong's appointment as AG as an alleged abuse of power in the ongoing dispute over No 38 Oxley Road.
