Background Story: M Ravi Accuses Roy of Swindling Money and Becoming Uncontactable (http://therealsingapore.com/content/m-ravi-accuses-roy-swindling-money-and-becoming-uncontactable)

In case if you are confused by M Ravi's mumbling, here is the chronology of the events pertaining to the payment of $29,000 to the prime minister's lawyers, Drew and Napier, byRoy Ngerng Yi Ling (https://www.facebook.com/sexiespider).
For the record, Roy had already paid M Ravi's firm $70,000 in June 2014 (Please see the attached images of the receipts from M Ravi's office). Together with the latest $29,000 paid to Drew and Napier, Roy had utilized a total of $99,000 from the $110,000 Legal Defense Fund raised by crowdfunding.

Total Funds Raised as at June 22, 2014 was $110,299. After hitting the target of $70,000 for the legal and court fees, Roy had stopped putting out an active appeal for funds.

M Ravi said:
“And you know what, to date, I’ve done so much of work and he’s keeping all the money, a hundred thousand I guess, to the tune of $70,000 or so. And what has happened?
He’s now blogging I understand.
[...]
He goes behind my back, he goes and blogs, you know? And I’m going to discharge, if he is continuing his behaviour, either he goes and see a psychiatrist…
[…]
… because I’m fighting for him tooth and nail and he’s swindling the money.”
------------------------------
Did Roy swindle the money as alleged by M Ravi?

Here is Roy's clarifications on the payment of the $29,000 in costs to the prime minister’s lawyers.

"On 12 January 2015, the court ruled that I have to pay $29,000 to the prime minister’s lawyers from Drew and Napier for costs and filing fees for the summary judgement that was held last year:

On 22 January 2015, Ravi forwarded me the letter from Drew and Napier which requested for the $29,000 to be paid by 29 January 2015.

On the very same day, on 22 January 2015, I brought $29,000 in cash to Ravi’s firm and received a receipt for it. The payment would be made by Ravi’s firm to Drew and Napier:

On the evening of 2 February 2015, I met with Ravi to check on the payment. Ravi explained that he is in the midst of setting up his new firm and hasn’t been able to process the payment to Drew and Napier yet. He handed me back the money and asked me to make the payment directly to Drew and Napier.

The very next day, on 3 February 2015, I gave a call to Drew and Napier to make an appointment to go down to Drew and Napier to make the payment. Davinder Singh’s secretary, Angel, told me that she would call me back on the appointment. However, Angel still did not call me back after 3 days.

This morning, on 6 February 2015, I called Drew & Napier again to ask when I could go down to Drew and Napier to make the payment. However, a staff at Drew & Napier said that I could not go down to Drew and Napier directly. She said that Drew and Napier had sent a letter to Ravi to ask if I could go down to make payment personally and she said that she was awaiting Ravi’s response. I then asked Ravi to respond to Drew and Napier.

However, I just received a letter that Drew and Napier had sent a letter to Ravi’s firm today to ask me to make payment. Drew and Napier also said that they have sent letters on 22 January 2015, 30 January 2015 and 3 February 2015. I am not aware of the letters sent on 30 January 2015 and 3 February 2015.

Drew and Napier also said in the latest letter that payment has to be made by 9 February 2015, which otherwise they will serve an application to ask for further costs. No where in the letter did it indicate that Drew and Napier was checking with Ravi if I could make payment directly, as Angel had claimed.

I am still awaiting confirmation from Drew and Napier as to when I can go down personally to make payment to them for the $29,000. As yet, Drew and Napier has not wanted to make an appointment with me.

So, at 5pm today, I decided to go down to Drew & Napier’s office to make the payment. I am now sitting at Drew & Napier’s office for more than an hour now. No one from Davinder Singh’s office has yet to have the courtesy to come down to meet me even though I have been sitting at their reception for the past one hour. Instead, they kept passing messages to the receptionist to speak to me.







Drew & Napier has refused to meet me face-to-face. Instead, the prime minister’s press secretary, Ms Chang Li Lin, has again taken to the state-controlled media to issue a statement. Ms Chang said that, “under the lawyers’ professional rules, a lawyer cannot, without the consent of the opposite party’s lawyer, deal directly with the opposite party”. The Straits Times also reported that, “If this deadline is missed, the law firm will file an application in court “to compel payment and for costs”, Ms Chang said.”

“If that order is granted and payment is still not made, Mr Lee will avail himself of his legal remedies,” Ms Chang said.

Now, I have been sitting at Drew & Napier’s office for more than an hour but no one from Davinder Singh’s office has come to see me. They asked their receptionist to speak to me if I have any questions. I then had to write down my questions on a piece of paper to ask Drew & Napier.

I said that I have brought along the $29,000 but it is Drew & Napier which does not want to accept the cash. I also asked if I can have written confirmation that Drew & Napier will not file an application for additional costs if the payment is still not made by Monday.

Obviously, I have the cash in hand but it is Drew & Napier which does not want to accept it.

I do not know what game Drew & Napier and the PAP are playing again. None of their lawyers have the courtesy to come down to speak to me even though I am sitting in their office for 1 1/2 hours. Instead, the prime minister’s press secretary took to using the state-controlled media to issue a statement."

Eventually, the prime minister's lawyers, Drew and Napier, accepted Roy's payment of $29,000 after being informed by M Ravi.

"I was initially unable to contact my lawyer earlier as he had a court case to attend to. Eventually, I managed to contact him and he was able to inform Drew & Napier to collect the payment of $29,000 from me."
