Instagram page ‘sgcickenrice’ responds with their own lawyer’s letter, asks NOC’s Sylvia Chan to clarify if her letter was “a threat to institute criminal proceedings”

Singapore ― Less than a day after receiving a lawyer’s letter on behalf of Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) co-founder Sylvia Chan for sharing allegations against Ms Chan last week, the Instagram page @sgcickenrice has responded with a lawyer’s letter of their own.

Sharing their letter on Instagram, they wrote: “Thank you all for your kind words and support. To update, I have instructed Eugene Thuraisingam LLP to act for me. This is the letter they sent earlier today to the lawyers that act for Sylvia and NOC. I would ask that all media queries be directed to my lawyers”.

A photo of the letter was shared on their Instagram page where they wrote: “The Allegations were first made on 30 September 2021. Your letter has not alleged that they are untrue.”

In the letter, it was also asked that Ms Chan and her lawyers “kindly clarify if the last sentence to paragraph 7 of your letter is a threat to institute criminal proceedings against our client”.

On Monday (Oct 11), NOC uploaded a statement on Instagram, consisting of four pages explaining that the company believes the accusations were made to harm the company’s reputation.

It added that the “cherry-picked” clips and screenshots posted online between “private individuals” will be investigated by authorities.

“WE WILL CONTINUE TO WELCOME ANY CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK TO CREATE A BETTER ATMOSPHERE FOR ALL OF US. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THE SPIRIT AND SOUL OF OUR COMPANY TO BE DEFEATED BY TRAVERSED AND MALICIOUS ATTACKS BY FACELESS INDIVIDUALS,” SAID NOC.
