Lee Hsien Yang, Singapore's PM's brother, seeks UK political asylum over family feud, estate dispute with government.

Lee Hsien Yang, son of Singapore's founding father, has claimed political asylum in the UK, citing a well-founded risk of persecution if he returns to Singapore. This claim stems from a longstanding feud with his brother, former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, over their father's estate. The Singaporean government has rejected Yang's allegations as baseless. Yang applied for asylum in 2022, asserting retaliation from the government.
