A former employee of Singapore's Defence Science and Technology Agency has defended his engagements with the Myanmar military, saying that he is merely sharing information about technology that is openly available rather than supplying lethal equipment.
Mr Lee Kar Heng, a radar specialist who runs a company called TBSS Group, was singled out by activist group Justice for Myanmar yesterday for being a keynote speaker at an event called Conference on Science and Technology Development 2021, being held this week by the Myanmar military's Defence Services Academy and other related units. He will be making his presentation online today.
