Son of Singapore founder granted UK asylum over feud with brother

Lee Hsien Yang, the younger brother of Singapore's recently retired Prime Minister, has been granted political asylum in the UK, marking a significant development in the ongoing family feud. The decision is seen as an embarrassment for Singapore, which prides itself on being a free and democratic country. Lee Hsien Yang's asylum was granted due to allegations of "persecution" in Singapore, where he claims he was subjected to baseless allegations and intimidation by the authorities. This perceived mistreatment is attributed to a family rift, primarily centered around disagreements over the fate of their father's home.
