Singapore: PM brother backs opposition in a challenge to PAP
The estranged brother of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong says he backs a new opposition party against the PAP.
The expected twist is not a surprise in Singapore. Lee Hsien Yang is in a long-standing tussle with his brother and has their sister Dr Lee Wei Ling on his side.
<<A family feud started in June 2017 when Dr Lee and Mr Lee Hsien Yang said they had lost confidence in PM Lee.>>
In a Facebook statement on June 14, 2014, the siblings said they feared the use of state organs against them.
The feud took another turn in January this year. The Attorney General filed a “complaint of misconduct” against Lee Hsien Yang’s lawyer wife, Lee Suet Fern.
Lee Kuan Yew’s children has not stopped the bickering about their father’s home and now its about the PAP.
Elections are to be held within months from the official launch of the the Progress Singapore Party.
This is the appropriate time for Lee Hsien Yang to come out against the PAP.
Lee Hsien Yang says the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) founded by his father Lee Kuan Yew – had “lost its way”.
The family feud is now a political feud but no one knows how will this play in the upcoming elections.
<<But the People’s Action Party is so far unfazed.>>
