THE feud in Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s family continues as his brother Lee Hsien Yang issued yet another public statement on Facebook.

The Straits Times reported that, shortly after Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean announced the composition and responsibilities of the ministerial committee studying options for their late father Lee Kuan Yew’s house, Hsien Yang said the committee is fundamentally flawed.

He said the committee comprised of Hsien Loong’s subordinates and should not be making decisions on an issue related to their boss, adding that he and their sister Lee Wei Ling have been asking about the committee’s composition for almost a year.

Hsien Yang also said they had raised concerns regarding Law Minister K Shanmugan’s membership due to conflict of interest, but this was brushed off by another minister.

Wei Ling also posted on Facebook that Shanmugam extensively consulted and advised Kuan Yew.

The three siblings are in a bitter feud centered around their late father’s final will, which called for his home at 38 Oxley Road to be demolished, and left the younger siblings abandoning their home country in fear of state persecution.

Hsien Loong, the eldest, disputed the validity of the final will and raised concerns regarding circumstances surrounding the drawing of the final will.

Hsien Yang and Wei Ling, however, said their father had expressedly called for his will to be reverted to the one drawn in 2011, which instructed that the Oxley Road home be demolished upon his death.

Also involved in the feud were Hsien Yang’s wife Lee Suet Fern, a top corporate lawyer, and Hsien Loong’s wife Ho Ching. – June 17, 2017.
