The travel document emerged as an issue in the disciplinary tribunal for the lawyer of Mr Lee's late father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
SINGAPORE: Singapore's immigration authority said on Wednesday that the passport of Mr Lee Hsien Yang remains valid and that it has never seized the document.
A report by the disciplinary tribunal, released on May 5, stated that Mr Lee Hsien Yang had applied to give evidence by video link because his"passport was currently being held by immigration authorities in connection with an immigration issue and that he was unlikely to get it back in time for the hearing".
Mr Lee Hsien Yang and his wife Ms Lee Suet Fern are not in Singapore. They left after declining to attend a police interview in July 2022 relating to lying in judicial proceedings about the late Mr Lee's will.In its report, the tribunal noted that one of the issues prior to the commencement of the evidentiary hearing was that Mr Lee Hsien Yang had applied to give evidence via video link - an application that was rejected by Mdm Kwa.
According to the tribunal, Mr Lee argued that he would face"unfair prejudice" if the application was not granted.
