Lee Kuan Yew’s two younger children initiated court action in
Singapore relating to an agreement between their late father, the
city’s first prime minister, and the government.
Lee Wei Ling and Lee Hsien Yang, executors of the
elder Lee’s estate, filed a court application on Sept. 2, according
to a record with the Singapore High Court. Their father’s agreement
related to the "custody and use" of interviews given by the former
premier to the government’s Oral History Department, according to a
statement by the Attorney-General, the respondent.
“The government will establish the proper
interpretation and status of the agreement before the court,” it
said in the statement.
Further details of the case weren’t immediately
available, and Lee Hsien Yang declined to comment. Lee Wei
Ling wasn’t immediately available to comment.
The Republic of Singapore’s founding father, Lee Kuan
Yew, died on March 23 at the age of 91, triggering a nationwide
outpouring of grief. More than a million people waited for as long
as 10 hours to pay their last respects.
Lee’s death and celebrations to mark Singapore’s 50th
year of independence helped the ruling People’s Action Party,
helmed by eldest son Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, extend
its more than five-decade rule at the Sept. 11 election.
The case is Lee Wei Ling, Lee Hsien Yang v
Attorney-General, OS816/2015. Singapore High Court.
