Death by media

straittimesLogoTHE photograph accompanying yesterday’s Page 1 report, ‘CEO dies during Osim triathlon’, was not of Mr Calvin Lee Wee Sing, chief executive officer of Deutsche Telekom Asia, who died on Sunday.

The photograph was of Mr Christopher Lim, Vice-President of ICT Operations and a member of the management board of T-Systems Singapore.

We regret the error and offer our profound apologies to Mr Christopher Lim and his family for the distress and inconvenience caused, to Mr Lee’s family for adding to their distress at this time of grief, and to any other parties who have been distressed or inconvenienced.

Yesterday’s report also stated wrongly that Mr Lee’s daughter is 12 years old. That information was provided to the media by the event organisers. She is in fact nine.
