Legal Letter from Grand Seasons International

Lawyers representing Grand Seasons International have sent us a letter (referring to this entry?).

We are seeking legal advice, and are sympathetic with parties who feel they may have been aggrieved by contributors to Tomorrow.sg. We are also mindful that threats of legal action should never be used to quash legitimate and valid criticism on the internet.

If you know anyone who has had dealings with Grand Seasons International, and who can assist us in this case, we would appreciate it if you could ask them to email us at admin@tomorrow.sg to establish the merits of this particular case.
