Lee Hsien Yang, youngest son of Singapore founder, claims asylum in the UK
A family feud in Singapore is escalating between the heirs of the city state’s modern-day founder, Lee Kuan Yew.
The row centres on whether to demolish or preserve a single-story house that hosted the formation of the People’s Action Party which has governed Singapore since 1959.
Now Lee’s youngest son, Lee Hsien Yang, has been granted asylum in the UK.
He’s accusing his government of persecution.
