Singapore Ex-PM's Son Alleges Political Persecution
Posted on 2024-10-31 17:11:13


Former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's youngest son, who fled to
Britain to seek asylum from what he describes as a campaign of persecution,
says the city-state has become much more repressive and that corruption has
worsened in the decade since his father died.

Lee Hsien Yang said in an interview with The Associated Press that he is just
the most prominent example of a growing number of Singaporeans fleeing abroad
to seek protection from their own government.

Lee cited a tightening of laws on security and rights of assembly and a sharp
increase in asylum seekers from Singapore over the past decade.

The Singapore government reacted strongly, accusing Lee of turning a personal
vendetta into an international smear campaign against the country.
