'There's a dark side': brother of Singapore PM hits out at regime after gaining UK asylum

[@dontbeAClown]

it was his father who started this system that has continued today. It reeks of hypocrisy that he has only chosen to speak up now after benefitting from this PERSONALLY, first as a president's scholar and an army general and later in the stat boards. we will take no lessons about state persecution from THIS MAN who was enriched by the system but now comes to say these things just because things dont come his way.

Mr LHY, you benefitted from your family prestige and wealth and yet claim to be a victim. But all these while, you just made assertions about how dark the government is blah, blah, blah but did not provide any solid proof, evidences and details. You claim to honor your father’s wish regarding the house, but yet you dishonor him in much greater proportion by making all this damaging claims without proofs about the country/government he built which he said he would “rise from the dead to defend”. Are your actions really honoring your father? Instead of hiding in the UK, get a UK Queen counsel to fight your case in open court, expose the so call “dark side” that victimizes you through court hearings for all to see. But instead of fighting like an Army General, you chose to seek asylum like a coward. I thought your brother was a failure in managing this family issue that spill over and stinks the whole country… but you are so much worse! You are like the dog that bite the hand that feeds it, shitting on the land that nurtured you. What a bloody disgrace!

[@mle0ng]

BTW, I agree that the house be demolished and not waste taxpayer money to strengthened and maintain the house, and yet cannot be visited by Singaporeans as per LKY’s wish for privacy. Just have the house facade or parts of the house that’s historically significant like the room where major decisions were made, be reconstructed at the Founder’s Memorial and convenient for all to visit. But LHY, what you are doing now to achieve your goal is disgustingly disgraceful. Also why is this video having parts edited out as if trying to manipulate audience for certain agenda? Where’s the full transcript?

[@avenuefive8593]

If you agree the house to be demolish then why LHL and PAP insist on keeping the house against the wish of LKY? We should also note that his late sister Dr Lee Wei Ling had criticized his own brother LHL before for using his influences and power. One has to be remarkably dumb or ill-informed to not know what LKY wanted to his Oxley home.

[@westwoodly]

He thrived - and thrived and prospered very well indeed with position and status - in the "dark' corner when his father and brother's were prime ministers. Now he comes out of the "dark side" and sees the light of day. It was too bright or him. Now he whines - like many S'poreans even when the going is good (90% out of 100% marks) is simply not good enough! He has great ambitions for himself and his sons.

[@lolipopi503]

If two siblings are against LHL, there is something wrong with LHL. The fact is LHL doesnt honour his father will. And LHL only visit LWL funeral for only 15 minutes.

As a Singaporean citizen, going internationally to accuse own Singapore government of being dark is much regretted over individual family affairs. As a son of former founder Prime Minister LKY, you should align with unity of the Country and not wreck dis-unity overseas. I am sorry to say Singaporeans do not agree with you. If you are in overseas, just do your national service. You have enough resources to stay comfortable abroad more than average citizens. Do not damage Singapore reputation bringing your own family feud affairs and trying to make it a mega international matter. Let me tell you, your dad shall not have none of it, if you know your dad well and respect his wishes. Britain is just as mess up right now by their unrealistic empty freedom ideal policies and they are suffering for it right now. The country is in a mess right now over bread and butter issues, thanks to former UK government. This is your duty own to Singapore to keep unity, irregardless of your person grievousness with your own family. Wish you well, in Great Britain. - A ordinary Singapore Citizen.

This is a man who has proclaimed that he doesn't need to tell the truth as long as he's not under oath in court, and whom was actually investigated for lying under oath. That's why nothing he says can be taken as the truth. Firstly, him and his wife were investigated for lying under oath, which they were supposed to attend a police interview for which they ran away from. That was the only "persecution" they had, which was just having to answer questions by the police. Secondly, his son Shengwu said he didn't want to enter politics, yet in all his interviews for asylum he claims that his son was blocked from entering politics. And then he claims that his brother's son Hongyi is entering politics to continue the family line in politics, when Hongyi himself said he didn't want to do so. Lee Hsien Yang has spread so much misinformation. Even the fact that the demolition clause for the house at Oxley was removed in the 5th will, and re-inserted into the 7th (final will) only when his wife rushed to get it signed. His wife was suspended because of how she rushed the signing of the will in which her husband would benefit, and this was the reason why the police wanted to interview him because in this case of the final will, Lee Hsien Yang was suspected of lying under oath. Everything was by his own hands, and then he blames his brother, the then-PM of Singapore.

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

I am with Mr Lee Hsien Yang (the brother of the former PM) on this one, because while Lee Kuan Yew probably sued and intimidated for stability for economic growth, this new strain of use of legal instruments is simply deplorable (former PM or his proxies using it). Fact 101 - Mr Lee Kuan Yew has always, I mean always, insisted he didn't want to build a memorial for himself. He wanted his house demolished. In fact, he didn't even want to use his name on any landmarks. He was quite detached from attachment of such recognition to his work. His house must be demolished. Mr Lee Hsien Yang must be able to go back to his native country and speak his mind. I think this asylum being sought by the son of, probably, father of modern Singapore (and he would have hated being called that), is simply not acceptable. I stand with Mr Lee Hsien Yang on this one. He has to be invited back, free of all intimidation and potential charges, and be provided with the freedom and guarantees of speech and conduct so long as it is legal and does not hurt another human being. And I side with him on this one, Mr Lee Kuan Yew never wanted his house to be turned into a museum or whatever.

[@ThinkTalkListen]

Seeking political asylum when he is never in politics sounds weird. Everything are his own self-inflicted doings that makes him suffer his own fate. His brother has never victimised him. All he said are just one sided sibling rivalry and jealously. Could it be that his father knows him best and possibly did not pick him for politics as he has a narrowed and skewed view. Just thinking aloud so Agree to Disagree. On the hind-side, hope he will see reality and unite with his brother(after-all they are the only 2 left)

This must be the most shameless guy of Singapore. This is the same person who have been suckling on the PAP system his entire life including holding top job as CEO of government linked company at young age of 36, while his papa was the senior minister of Singapore. After enriching himself and his family all these years, he is now saying he is political refugee. This guy must be one of the richest refugees in UK, perhaps even richer than the British PM. Wonder if the UK government offer tax exemption for this wealth. Please don't kid himself, politic was never his forte and that is why the late Lee Kuan Yew, his father, kept him away from politics and chosen LHL as the PM instead. And now he is trying to humiliate his father by funding political party to contest against PAP and complaining that the LKY medicine taste bitter. Well the Singapore rule of law doesnt Favour the LEE family and perhaps LHY think that he is so highborn that PAP government need to bend the law for him and his family. Since he is in UK, why not take up British citizenship and join politics. I am sure using his father's name will help open doors.

[@jarrenloke2120]

As for demolition of 38 Oxley Road, LHY need to be reminded that his late father's wish or will is not above the Singapore rule of laws. And the Singapore land acquisition, preservation and conservation act can decide if the building is worth preserving due to his historical value. So please stop all the amateurish play acting as an honorable son trying fulfil his father wishes while throwing pot shot at Singapore government, funding opposition party to bring down PAP, and even urging Singapore to vote for Tan Kin Lian to become President of Singapore so that Singapore can become the biggest joke on national TV around the world.

As to why he and his family ran away? That has got everything to do with husband and wife getting caught for taking advantage of LKY's health and haste him to change the will by replacing LKY's lawyer and getting his wife's law firm to handle the will.

For all Singaporeans' knowledge, our founding father has given a letter to the cabinet dated 27 December 2011, giving them permission to preserve the Oxley house. The fact that he left the house to his older son, LHL, is clear that he is putting him and the cabinet in-charge of the matter. But now we know that the house was just an excuse, what LHY really wanted is for his son to be Singapore's pm. It's a joke! All Singaporeans with the right moral values would never ever accept his son as pm especially after all that the three of them (him, his wife, and son) had done and is continuing to do to harm Singapore. He seems to have forgotten that the pm is elected by the people. It's not pass down from generation to generation. In any case, the fact that our founding father didn't invite him, his sister, or his son to enter politics, it's obvious he doesn't think that they are fit for the job!

Don't forget why both his late sister and LHY wanted to demolish their family house in Oxley Road. Their filial piety towards both their late beloved parents. Well documented in one of late LKY's book to demolish his house after no one live there anymore.

[@上正止]

Mr Lee Kuan Yew will be very sad if he knows he has such a rebellious son. He only shows his true colours after Mr Lee passed away. I have lived in Singapore for 5 decades. Never have I feel being in a country controlled by a regime. Singapore laws are strict just like a benevolent father who is the head of the household but have to use stick approach to discipline the children when they misbehave.In this modern world, where can you still find a competent and good Govt like ours? I just can’t understand why he says all these things.

Every Singaporean political dissenter has an acrimonious axe to grind with the ruling establishment. This means the thinking fallacy of motivated reasoning will be at work. When the heart is so bitter, one's mind and reason will be stained to the extent that one seeks out only data that seem to prove one's point. If you assume that I'm a hard-core PAP supporter, no. I am a nonpartisan swing voter. I have voted both for and against the PAP in past general elections. Hsien Yang is talking bollocks here.

[@raymasraymas]

Mate, it seems to be that for all its tremendous achievements Singapore and Singaporean society is simply unable to handle a diversity of views. Case in point being your choice of words “dissenter”.

Stop complaining and feeling helpless my friend. In the first case, you should have worked with the government over the case of Oxley. Instead you chose to fight them and as such, there is a price to pay. You should know that. Even I know that when I was only 28 years of age then. I say these because I have gone through 2 acquisitions over my parents' properties. My mom was so despondent over the acquisitions. What can we do, I was really young then. It is a system setup by your Dad or the government. So to be fair to all Singaporeans, I say play with sword, you live by the sword. So what if you are son of LKY. So what if your dad's will say tear the house down! You have brought all your troubles onto yourself. Go, reflect and stop speaking ills about my country!

Never underestimate an overly ambitious man. He joined an opposition party hoping to be the prime minister one day and put his sons and wife in high positions. The opposition party leader - a member of his father and brother's party - was wise to read into his move, knowing that he was going to make use of the party for his own needs and ends. People of Singapore rejected him. He dared stand for election The party leaders knew he would ruin it.

Once had a chance to eat with him at tampines coffeeshop behind those temples. He openly talks about CPF and government using citizens money to invest while citizens have to watch our money and unable to use it. I told him straight away that CPF was important as when i was 5-10, i saw lots of beggars everyday and most people don’t know how to save up while comparing the situation during 2014 ( not quite remember) it was far better. We did debate quite a bit and then he skip to another topic chatting with my uncle😢 I remember his use of english was not that good ( on speaking ) Basically, I felt he is doing his last resort to 撒娇 as he felt his son is a potential PM of Singapore as after his son Debate competition, many Singaporeans spoke out on that. Problem is acting like a spoiled child, trying to darken good policies and speaking bad don’t gain you popularity or support and that is why you were not choose to be in politics, you care only for your own benefits and disregard Singaporeans benefits. And now, you are trying to pull Singaporeans down with you for not standing by you😢 “ I will wake up if something bad happens to Singapore” Hopes LKY will appear in your dreams some days to remind you and maybe apologise to you for being too偏心。
