While he has remained abroad, some Singaporeans have continued to urge Mr Lee to come back to his homeland.

SINGAPORE: Several Singaporeans are calling on founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s younger son Lee Hsien Yang to return to Singapore and fight for the nation, as the next general election looms.

The brothers’ dispute first spilled into the public domain in 2017, two years after their famous father died. The rift within the family widened when the authorities took action against Mr Lee Hsien Yang’s wife and son, who were suspended from legal practice and found guilty of contempt of court, respectively.

Asserting that he has lost much by trying to honour his father’s dying wish and speaking up for it, he has asserted in the past that his family had paid the price for his convictions. Echoing this sentiment, another Facebook user, Peggy Lim, added: “You may have been forced by circumstances to be away from home, but friends n fellow Singaporeans have you n family in our thoughts n mind. Justice must prevail!”
