Chinese state media, netizens seize on Lee family dispute to criticise Singapore
Published: 8:00 PM, June 16, 2017 Updated: 8:55 PM, June 16, 2017 SINGAPORE — Chinese state media and netizens have seized on the feud between Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his siblings to criticise the Republic’s leadership, drawing a sharp contrast between their coverage and that of the media in countries around the world, which have mostly stuck to factual and balanced reporting. On Thursday (June 15), for example, the Global Times ran an opinion piece headlined “Is family feud indicating a broader dispute in Singapore?” In adopting a hectoring tone, the piece posited that the family dispute was a sign that socio-political tensions were brewing in Singapore. “The attack launched on Lee Hsien Loong by his two siblings to some extent represents the dissatisfactions of the liberals and opposition parties against the ‘central interest group’ built up by Lee Hsien Loong, which may lead to the outburst of conflicts in Singapore,” the commentary said. It went on to say that “Singapore appears to be ill-prepared to adapt to global changes. Its avid support of the South China Sea arbitration rendered the country isolated. As an active promoter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it was caught in an awkward position after US President Donald Trump discarded the deal. These have cornered Singapore into an unprecedented passive diplomatic position”. It concluded thus: “Lee Hsien Loong has been granted a chance on the stage of history, but is being rooted against by his siblings. His winning edge lies only in his governance achievements.” The tabloid, which is published by the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece, People’s Daily, and thus offers a view of official thinking, has long had Singapore in its sights. Last November, after the Singapore Armed Forces’ Terrex vehicles were seized, it warned that the Republic’s “hypocrisy” over its military relationship with Taiwan could harm its relations with China. A month earlier, it published a series of reports critical of PM Lee’s official visit to Japan. The newspaper claimed that Singapore had agreed to cooperate with Tokyo on various issues, including territorial disputes in the South China Sea. That charge came after it alleged in September that Singapore had pushed for a stronger statement on an international tribunal ruling invalidating Beijing’s expansive claims in the South China Sea during the Non-Aligned Movement summit. Singapore’s ambassador to China, Stanley Loh, rebutted the report, calling it “false and unfounded”, but the paper stood by its story. Global Times’ readership comprises a sizeable number of young nationalists. Those voices were very much in evidence on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, after reports of the dispute between the Lees were published. continue reading here : http://www.todayonline.com/chinaindi...cise-singapore

Re: 13-year-old arrested for allegedly throwing ofo bicycle from HDB block
I'm not sure if fingerprints was how they identified the boy. There probably be multiple prints on it as it's an public items singapore is small. It's very likely to be by word of mouth.
And don't need 30th floor, depending on angle and bad luck, second floor is enough to be killer litter already.

Singapore will not be dragged down by Lee family's 'petty disputes': ESM Goh
16 Jun 2017 11:20PM (Updated: 16 Jun 2017 11:51PM) SINGAPORE: Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong has weighed in on a growing dispute between Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his siblings over their late father's Oxley Road home. "Singapore has prevailed through crises and adversity. We are a hardy people, built our family and nation from humble beginnings. What is happening in public between Lee Kuan Yew's children is not us and should not be allowed to define who we are," he wrote on Facebook on Friday evening (Jun 16). "We are bigger than our troubles, stronger than our differences. Whatever damage Singapore may suffer, willfully inflicted or otherwise, I know Singaporeans will not lay meek. We will not be dragged down by a family's petty disputes," Mr Goh said. "We will always look forward, to fight real battles and create a better future for ourselves and our children." The dispute saw PM Lee's two siblings make a series of allegations against their elder brother, claiming that he opposed their father's wish to demolish the house, and that he had an incentive to preserve the house "to inherit (Lee Kuan Yew’s) credibility". The allegations led PM Lee to make public the statutory declaration he had submitted to an internal ministerial committee that was set up to consider the future of the late Mr Lee's house. In it, he expressed "grave concerns" about the way in which Mr Lee's last will was made - in particular, the removal and subsequent re-insertion of a clause stating the late Mr Lee's wish that his house be demolished after his death.

Re: ‘Leaders must be able to take criticism, acknowledge mistakes’: PM Lee
Chinese nationalists gloat over Singapore first family saga
PUBLISHED : Thursday, 15 June, 2017, 4:13pm UPDATED : Friday, 16 June, 2017, 5:36am Nectar Gan Mainlanders watching with interest a bitter feud playing out among Singapore’s first family have taken to social media to vent about the “anti-China” administration, while others reflected on the politics of their own country. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s two younger siblings on Wednesday issued a statement on Facebook accusing him of misusing his power and betraying the legacy of their late father and founding leader of the city-state, Lee Kuan Yew. They said they believed their brother was using state organs to harass them – and they feared for their safety. Lee Hsien Loong responded by criticising his siblings for “publicising private family matters”. Facebook is banned on mainland China, but reports of the dispute – which centres on the fate of a house where Lee Kuan Yew lived for seven decades – were carried by state media outlets including news agency Xinhua, Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily and nationalist tabloid Global Times. Many of those commenting online were keen to see how the drama would unfold, while nationalists who accused Singapore of being “anti-China” took the opportunity to gloat about Lee Hsien Loong’s troubles. Lee Kuan Yew family feud deepens as Singapore PM’s brother questions his pledge to stay out of home decision( “The Lee family is the vanguard of anti-China [forces]. But if you want to oppose China, you should first get your family matters in order,” read one comment on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter. Meanwhile a report on the open feud in Global Times on Thursday was flooded with some 5,600 comments – many of them showing more than a touch of schadenfreude. The top comment attracted 1,440 “likes”: “Lee Hsien Loong, an anti-China lackey of the United States. Even his siblings are breaking from him. Chinese people should forever remember this anti-China lackey of the West. He is more anti-China than anyone else.” Partly fanned by state media, nationalist sentiment has been on the rise in China in recent years, with a younger and more vocal generation frequently going online to defend their country against the slightest criticism – or to attack any foreign countries or leaders they see as running counter to the national interest. How China is using its Global Times attack dog to intimidate Singapore( Lee Hsien Loong’s administration angered many Chinese nationalists during a diplomatic row over the South China Sea last summer. Since then, mistrust has grown between the two nations – which have long shared deep ethnic and cultural bonds – as China continues to take a more assertive stance on foreign policy. continue reading here : http://www.scmp.com/news/china/polic...e-first-family

Re: ‘Leaders must be able to take criticism, acknowledge mistakes’: PM Lee
Singapore rocked by open feud in Lee family
By Afp Published: 13:18 BST, 14 June 2017 | Updated: 13:18 BST, 14 June 2017 Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stands at an event at the Istana presidential palace in Singapore Tightly-ruled Singapore was rocked by an unprecedented political drama Wednesday when a feud between the children of the late founding leader Lee Kuan Yew over his legacy burst into the open. The founder's oldest child, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, came under attack online before dawn from his younger brother Lee Hsien Yang, and younger sister Lee Wei Ling. They accused him of exploiting their father's legacy for his own political agenda, a charge the premier quickly denied. The pair also claimed that their brother had abused his powers to harass them -- and Hsien Yang said he had decided to leave the country as a result. The feud had simmered following the death in March 2015 of the elder Lee, who ruled Singapore with an iron hand but transformed the city-state from a relatively poor British colony into one of the world´s wealthiest and most stable societies. But the quarrel intensified in the small hours of Wednesday with the issuance of the extraordinary statement, which immediately went viral in a country where tough laws against protests and curbs on press freedom have stifled political dissent. - More than a family feud - "The timing is important as Singapore has been facing more uncertainty both in terms of the current and future leadership as well as the economy and regional situation," said Southeast Asia watcher Bridget Welsh, a visiting professor at John Cabot University in Rome. "An attack from trusted family members is impactful and legitimately raises questions. Some will see this as a family squabble but it is clearly more than this," she told AFP. "The effects are to raise questions about how Lee Hsien Loong is using his father's legacy... also attention will be brought to (Lee's) wife and her power and legacy... It will cause introspection about whether Singapore can be separated in the future from the Lee family." The siblings' grievances largely centre on the fate of the family's home after their father's death. The pair said their brother Lee had defied their father's instructions to tear it down. A cabinet statement Wednesday said however that PM Lee has "recused himself from all government decisions" about the fate of the former family home. Lee Hsien Loong's wife Ho Ching is the chief executive of state investment firm Temasek Holdings, which had global assets worth Sg$242 billion ($180 billion) as of March 2016. "We have felt threatened by Hsien Loong´s misuse of his position and influence over the Singapore government and its agencies to drive his personal agenda," read the statement posted online by his siblings. "We have observed that Hsien Loong and Ho Ching want to milk Lee Kuan Yew´s legacy for their own political purposes," the statement said, adding that they harbour political ambitions for one of their sons. Michael Barr, associate professor of international relations at Flinders University in Adelaide, said "normal people who try to do something similar would´ve been dealt with by the courts by now", referring to the strong criticism of Lee. continue reading here : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp...ee-family.html

Re: ‘Leaders must be able to take criticism, acknowledge mistakes’: PM Lee
Lee family feud rocks Singapore
By Yang Sheng Source:Global Times Published: 2017/6/15 23:33:39 City-state suffers series of failures under current PM The dispute between Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his siblings might challenge the stability of the country and bring pressure for political reform, experts said. Lee Hsien Yang, the second son of Singapore's first leader Lee Kuan Yew, and his sister Lee Wei Ling, posted a statement on Wednesday, accusing their older brother of using their father's legacy to reinforce his own power and personal popularity. "The dispute between the prime minister and his siblings is actually about the use of the former leader Lee Kuan Yew's legacy in Singaporean politics," Xu Liping, an expert on Southeast Asia at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Thursday. As Lee Hsien Loong's achievements in government, compared to his father's, are not as impressive, this open family feud might affect his political status to some extent, Xu said. The dispute was apparently sparked by disagreement over the fate of the family home at 38 Oxley Road. The late prime minister had asked for it to be demolished upon his death, part of his long-held belief against monuments and self-aggrandizement, but the house has been preserved. "However, we believe that [Lee] Hsien Loong and [his wife] Ho Ching are motivated by a desire to inherit Lee Kuan Yew's standing and reputation for themselves and their children," read Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling's statement. Political ambitions The two siblings also said in the statement that Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, the chief executive of state investment firm Temasek Holdings, also "harbor political ambitions" for their son Li Hongyi. "To appoint a successor within the first family in Singapore is becoming increasingly unacceptable, and pressure on the ruling party, the People's Action Party, is actually growing," Chu Yin, an associate professor at the University of International Relations, told the Global Times on Thursday. Chu said that the Lee family's public feud shows that democratization in the country is increasing and that Lee Hsien Loong is not an unchallengeable figure in Singapore. In response to his siblings' allegations, Lee Hsien Loong released a statement on his Facebook account on Wednesday, saying that he was "very disappointed that my siblings have chosen to issue a statement publicizing private family matters." He denied the accusations, including any political plan for his son. continue reading here : http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1051967.shtml

Re: ‘Leaders must be able to take criticism, acknowledge mistakes’: PM Lee
Singapore's Lee family spat is ugly, but unlikely to impact PM's grip on power
By P N Balji Updated 0447 GMT (1247 HKT) June 15, 2017 Story highlights Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong's character and leadership is being attacked by his own siblings However, their claims are unlikely to affect the popular leader's reputation very much Editor's Note: Veteran Singaporean journalist P N Balji is the former chief editor of Singapore's Today newspaper, and currently a media consultant. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. (CNN) — The peace and quiet of an oasis called Singapore was shattered early on Wednesday morning as an ugly fight among members of the country's most prominent family spilled into the open, with accusations being made about the character and leadership of the prime minister and his wife. In a statement headlined "What Has Happened To Lee Kuan Yew's Values," the island nation's founding father's younger son and daughter made chilling accusations against the elder son and current prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong. "We are disturbed by the character, conduct, motives and leadership of Lee Hsien Loong and the role of his wife, Ho Ching. We have seen a completely different face to our brother, one that deeply troubles us," they charged. Their accusations went beyond the original bone of contention -- what to do with Lee Kuan Yew's bungalow -- and went into areas like Ho Ching's "pervasive influence which extends beyond her job purview." Ho Ching is the CEO of the government's investment company, Temasek Holdings. There were also allegations that the PM and his wife "harbor political ambitions for their son, Li Hongyi." Lee Hsien Yang leaves the Supreme court on April 10, 2017. Lee Hsien Yang leaves the Supreme court on April 10, 2017. Festering dispute The dispute over the house has festered since Lee Kuan Yew died two years ago, with accusations that the PM and his wife were against the elder Lee's wish that the property be demolished. This time round, the allegations have become sharper and more personal with the younger Lees saying the PM and his wife want to move into the house to "strengthen Hsien Loong's inherited mandate for himself and his family." The house in the upmarket Orchard Road area has been the subject of much debate. Lee Kuan Yew had talked about his and his wife's wish to send the bulldozers in after their deaths. "I have seen other houses, Nehru's. Shakespeare's. They became a shambles after a while," the former PM said in one interview. But what was left unsaid -- at least publicly -- was the house's historical and heritage value. Built more than 200 years ago by a Jewish merchant, the house was bought by Lee Kuan Yew in 1945 and was witness to many of Singapore's significant historical moments. That was the place Lee and his comrades met to discuss the formation of a political movement to fight for Singapore's independence from Britain and plot the painful separation from Malaysia. Shouldn't a house with so many historic memories be preserved, asked some. Others argued that the old man's wish should be granted as he had done so much for the country. continue reading here : http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/14/op...lji/index.html

Defying his father's death wish to demolish the Oxley house so both himself & Ho Ching can move in to enjoy LKY's legacy(according to Lee Wei Ling). Persecute his own sibling & spouse. Wah lan ei...
