“Lee Hsien Yang Weighs Running For Presidency” Shocking exclusive interview by Bloomberg. However, as it stands Mr. Lee Hsien Yang does not qualify. 1) There is an outstanding investigation against him. Mr.Lee should return to assist in this, if he wants to make it in time for the elections. 2) Even without the investigation, the Disciplinary Tribunal used very strong words against Mr. Lee HY like “downright dishonest”. The Court of 3 Judges affirmed the DT’s finding that in some instances, Mr Lee HY “not telling they truth”. It is stated in the constitution that the Presidential Elections Committee needs to be satisfied that the candidate is of good character and integrity. There is NO WAY that they will let someone the Disciplinary Tribunal called ‘Downright Dishonest’ run. Mr Lee HY is a smart man. He knows this. I fully expect him to announce he will run, because he knows he doesn’t qualify anyway. But it will cause maximum political damage to the Government by announcing he is interested, applying, and then being told he doesn’t qualify. Singapore has enough problems. We don’t need this drama. If Mr Lee HY truly cares about the Singapore his father built, come back, face the courts and if found innocent, run for political office instead, like he teased he would in 2020. Finally, I don’t see much sympathy for them in the West. Why? The descendants of LKY complaining about an authoritarian state, is too much irony, even for the hypocritical western press to bear. - CC

Terry Xu didn't call Lee Hsien Yang as witness as he couldn't prove his allegations: PM's lawyer

SINGAPORE — Terry Xu had decided to not subpoena Lee Hsien Yang and discontinue with third party proceedings because he knew that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s younger brother could not prove the allegations repeated by Xu, PM Lee’s lawyer charged on Wednesday (2 December).
Senior Counsel Davinder Singh pointed out in court that Xu had lunch with Hsien Yang and his wife Lee Suet Fern on 4 November, hours before Xu sent a letter to the High Court to discontinue with third party proceedings, which would have involved Hsien Yang and his sister Dr Lee Wei Ling.
Xu, 38, chief editor of socio-political website The Online Citizen, is being sued by PM Lee for libel over an article posted on his website on 15 August 2019. The article titled “PM Lee’s wife, Ho Ching weirdly shares article on cutting ties with family members” was written by a staff writer under Xu’s instruction.
In the article, Xu repeated allegations that were first publicised by Hsien Yang and Dr Lee from 14 June 2017. They have accused PM Lee of misleading their late father Lee Kuan Yew into believing that his property at 38 Oxley Road had been gazetted.
After legal action was taken by PM Lee against him, Xu initiated third party proceedings, which would have involved calling the two younger Lee siblings to testify, as part of his defence.
But Xu later decided to drop the proceedings and sent a letter to the High Court on 4 November informing the court of his decision. Read more at https://sg.news.yahoo.com/terry-xu-lee-hsien-yang-witness-allegations-pm-lawyer-102711377.html

SINGAPORE — Lawyer Kwa Kim Li, a cousin of Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, has been referred to a Disciplinary Tribunal (DT) over complaints regarding her conduct in the preparation of the late Lee Kuan Yew's will.
Justice Valerie Thean of the High Court granted an order directing the Law Society to apply to the Chief Justice for the appointment of a DT for a formal investigation into Kwa’s conduct, following a complaint by Lee Wei Ling and Lee Hsien Yang – the younger siblings of PM Lee.
In a written judgement on Thursday (21 April), the DT was instructed to investigate two more of the Lees' complaints: that Kwa failed to follow the instructions of the late Lee to destroy his superseded wills, and that she had given false and misleading information to them in two e-mails in 2015.
Kwa, managing partner of the Lee and Lee law firm, is a maternal cousin of the Lees. Between 20 August 2011 and 2 November 2012, she prepared six of the late Lee’s wills. Wei Ling had previously accused Kwa of “lying” about the latter’s supposed non-involvement in the events that led to her father’s 2013 will.

Lee Suet Fern suspended 15 months by disciplinary body over handling of LKY's will
SINGAPORE — The Court of Three Judges has handed out a 15-month suspension to corporate lawyer Lee Suet Fern for her role in the handling of the late Lee Kuan Yew’s final will, after rejecting her appeal against a Disciplinary Tribunal’s (DT) verdict.
In a written judgment on Friday (20 November), the highest disciplinary body that deals with lawyers' misconduct found the 61-year-old guilty of misconduct unbefitting an advocate and solicitor.
This despite the absence of an implied retainer between her and the late Lee, and that she had not acted dishonestly in her dealings with him.
Nevertheless, the Court of Three Judges said that her culpability in the matter was “at least moderately high”, as the late Lee “ended up signing a document which was in fact not that which he had indicated he wished to sign”. It added, “The fact that the Last Will and the First Will were materially similar was fortuitous, and does not discount the fact that the potential harm could have been far more severe than the actual harm that eventuated.”
Accordingly, it suspended Suet Fern from practice for 15 months.
Suet Fern is married to Lee Kuan Yew’s youngest child Lee Hsien Yang. She is the sister-in-law of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Read more at https://sg.news.yahoo.com/lee-kuan-yews-will-lee-suet-fern-suspended-15-months-disciplinary-body-033850094.html

Lee Suet Fern suspended 15 months from practising law, found guilty of misconduct over handling of LKY's last will
Lee Suet Fern (LSF), lawyer and wife of Lee Hsien Yang (LHY), has been suspended for 15 months over the handling of the last will of the late Lee Kuan Yew's (LKY).
In a 99-page written judgement released on Nov. 20, the Court of Three Judges, which comprises of Chief Justice Menon, Judge of Appeal Judith Prakash and Justice Woo Bih Li, stated that LSF had been found guilty of misconduct unbefitting an advocate and solicitor. The court, which is highest disciplinary body dealing with lawyers' misconduct, added that it had taken the following four factors into consideration for LSF's sentencing:
- Her motivation for her misconduct which primarily stemmed from her "singular" focus in achieving the interests of her husband, while oblivious to LKY's interests,- Her "considerable" involvement in ensuring the execution of LKY's last will, which contrasted with her lack of diligence in ensuring that LKY's wishes were properly ascertained and carried out, and that he was fully apprised of all the facts, and- The absence of her attempt to contact, Kwa Kim Li, who had prepared the wills of LKY, and been excluded from all the emails pertaining to LKY's last will since LHY’s email sent on Dec. 16, 2013, 7.31pm, until after the will in question was executed,- LSF's own experience as a solicitor of more than 30 years’ standing, which meant her conduct was "wholly unacceptable and inexcusable".

Was this Hsien Yang’s motive all along?
The tribunal’s decision is out – Suet Fern, better known as the wife of Lee Hsien Yang, did not behave properly when handling LKY’s Will. Not only did she get involved in the Will despite her obvious conflict of interest, she also tried to hide evidence of her wrongdoing during the tribunal.
So was this Hsien Yang’s motive all along? To protect his wife, after working together to cheat LKY? Read more: https://zhunbosg.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/lhy-motive/
