I am a political refugee from Singapore under the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. 

In 2017, my sister Wei Ling and I declared, “We do not trust Hsien Loong as a brother or as a leader.” We stated that we feared the abuse of the organs of the Singapore state against us and against my family. Because of that risk, I was unable to attend Wei Ling’s funeral.

I sought asylum protection in 2022. The Singapore government’s attacks against me are in the public record. They prosecuted my son, brought disciplinary proceedings against my wife, and launched a bogus police investigation that has dragged on for years. On the basis of these facts, the UK has determined that I face a well-founded risk of persecution, and cannot safely return to Singapore.

I sought asylum protection as a last resort. I remain a Singapore citizen and hope that some day it will become safe to return home.

To honour my parents’ last wishes, I am applying to demolish the house at 38 Oxley Road and thereafter to build a small private dwelling, to be held within the family in perpetuity.

I am the sole legal owner of 38 Oxley Road. After my sister's passing, I am the only living executor of my father Lee Kuan Yew’s estate. In his will, he wished for the house to be demolished “immediately after” Wei Ling moved out of the house. It is my duty to carry out his wishes to the fullest extent of the law.

I have recently been attacked in the Singapore state controlled propaganda machinery relying on findings that have been overturned in Court.  It is disgraceful that they should do so. It is pathetic that they continue to rehash allegations by PM Lee seven years after the whole saga came to light, and reflect his continued attempts to rewrite history.

I am heart-broken that I have been made a fugitive by my own country, for standing up for a promise to my father, Lee Kuan Yew.

Judge Valerie Thean: "I agree that the statements in Ms Kwa’s 4 June 2015 Email and 22 June 2015 Email, as a factual matter, could be said to be prima facie false and misleading.”

“The Court's reasoning in its judgment is legally unsound and falls into serious error.”
“the judgment of the Court and its conclusion that LSF committed misconduct is flawed."
“In my view, such findings would not be sustained on any appeal were one to be available against the judgment of the Court.  Further, since the findings of misconduct are untenable no sanction should have been imposed.”
- Timothy Dutton CBE QC

When I hosted a lunch for Lee Kuan Yew in 2008 in London, he told me of his trust and admiration for her. Who will believe that he would have had any objection to his daughter-in-law helping to arrange for the witnessing of his will, which she did not draft, or that she acted in any way improperly? In my view, she has been unjustly suspended, a stain on the international reputation of Singapore.

My Wife's Statement:

The Court of Three did not find that he  [LKY]was of unsound mind or that he was not in control.  He made the decision to revert to his landmark 2011 will following discussions with his lawyer Kwa Kim Li before I was tasked to find a witness. 

The Court of Three found that “he [LKY] was content with it [this will]”.

The Court of Three found “no solicitor-client relationship existed” between Lee Kuan Yew and myself.  The Court found there was no dishonesty in my dealings with Lee Kuan Yew and there was no finding that the will was procured by fraud or undue influence.  

Probate for Lee Kuan Yew’s will had been granted by the courts in 2015.  Probate had been sought on the urging of Lee Hsien Loong and Lucien Wong, before he became Attorney-General.”

The Disciplinary Proceedings that culminated in today's hearing before the Court of 3 Judges were initiated on the premise that my wife and I had sought to gain financially at the expense of my sister.

Evidence presented established conclusively that my father reached a decision to revert to equal shares unilaterally after discussing it with his lawyer Kwa Kim Li.

At the hearing today, Counsel for my wife, Mr Kenneth Tan S.C. and Prof Walter Woon S.C. argued the case forcefully before the Court.

On 14 Jun 2017 Yang and I made public our concerns in a Facebook post entitled “What has happened to Lee Kuan Yew’s Values?” We stated that “We do not trust Hsien Loong as a brother or as a leader.  We have lost confidence in him.”

Events since then have only served to  reinforce our view."

The AGC’s complaint repeats allegations made years ago by Hsien Loong through Lucien Wong, his personal lawyer (now AG). I debunked these allegations 2017. See post I made then.

The Economist: "The government has little compunction about curbing freedom of expression. A law adopted in 2017 makes it harder for groups to assemble in public. Recent changes to rules that govern the creation and exhibition of films allow film-makers’ possessions to be seized without a warrant. Many worry that proposed laws aimed at countering fake news could be used to limit free speech yet more. For some, the government’s repressive instincts are the real scandal.  "

The Committee's statement does not accurately represent Lee Kuan Yew's wishes. After our father's passing, Loong urged us to obtain probate for Lee Kuan Yew's will, with full knowledge of its contents. The court granted probate for Lee Kuan Yew's will in October 2015, so it is the full, final, and legally binding statement of his wishes for the house. Combined with Lee Kuan Yew's numerous and unwavering public statements on the matter, there is more than enough documentary evidence for a future government to understand - and hopefully grant - our father's last wish.

We love Singapore. It is our country. Our father spent his entire life building and serving Singapore. We want the best for Singapore. To stand by his values is to honour him and his legacy.

Since the episode involving my parents' house became publicised, my sister, Wei Ling and I have taken to social media to reach the people of Singapore.  We have no other access.

The will is final and binding. We have no confidence in Lee Hsien Loong or his secret committee.

We have no confidence in PM Lee Hsien Loong. 
“We feel big brother omnipresent. We fear the use of the organs of state against us  and Hsien Yang’s wife, Suet Fern.”
