新加坡‧擅用李光耀語錄照片
集團登報道歉賠償
updated:2005-05-12 18:40:03 MYT


(新加坡訊)一家分時享用度假設施(timeshare)集團在宣傳手冊中,未經同意引用新加坡內閣資政李光耀的語錄和照片,週四(12日)在《海峽時報》上刊登道歉啟事。

這家分時享用度假設施集團旗下擁有Holiday Marketing International和L.G.M. Limited兩家公司,集團在道歉啟事中也表示願意支付一筆賠償金,但沒有列出數目。

這個集團所引用的,是曾經刊登在《讀者文摘》中的一段李資政談家庭旅遊的話。該集團未經同意就把這段話用在宣傳手冊中,並刊登了李資政的照片。宣傳手冊是用來促銷旅遊和度假配套和產品。

李光耀4月知道了這件事後,通過律師發出律師信,要求該集團刊登道歉啟事和賠償損失。幾天前,該集團同意道歉和賠償。

李光耀的代表律師是盧納北亞律師事務所(Drew & Napier)的文達星高級律師與古瑪律師。這個道歉啟事,是由李資政的代表律師擬出的。

承諾不再重蹈覆轍

在道歉啟事中,集團承認他們利用李光耀的照片、名字、職銜,可能導致讀者以為李光耀同意他們引用他的話,進而讓人以為李光耀利用自己的政治地位,為集團做宣傳謀取利益,或者贊助了集團的業務。

該集團在道歉啟事中承認,李光耀從來沒有利用、或同意讓任何人利用他的名字、職務或地位來牟利,或者贊助任何集團業務。李光耀也從來沒有同意讓集團在宣傳手冊中刊登他的照片、名字或者引用他說過的話。

啟事中說,集團對他們給李光耀造成的困擾和難堪,作出毫無保留的道歉,他們也承諾不再重蹈覆轍。

這不是獅城政治人物首次向擅用他們名字或照片做宣傳的公司,追究法律責任。1995年,反對黨議員詹時中就起訴一家中餐館未經他的同意,在廣告中刊登他的照片。詹時中在官司中獲勝,並獲得5萬元的賠償。
