Question

Accepted Answer

Lee Hsien Yang and Wife Are Free to Return to Singapore Amidst Ongoing Police Probe

Lee Hsien Yang and his wife, Lee Suet Fern, are not subject to any legal restrictions that would prevent their return to Singapore. While they were requested to assist in police investigations in June 2022, they departed the country on June 15, 2022, after failing to attend a scheduled interview. Their ability to return has been a point of discussion, particularly following the recent death of Lee Hsien Yang's sister.
Police Clarify No Travel Restrictions

A police statement has explicitly stated that Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Suet Fern are and have always been free to return to Singapore. The couple left the country on June 15, 2022, after being asked to assist with investigations in June 2022 and subsequently missed a scheduled interview. They have not returned to Singapore since their departure.
Investigation Originates from Estate Dispute

The police investigation into Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Suet Fern is connected to a broader legal dispute concerning the handling of the estate of their late father, Lee Kuan Yew. This dispute involves Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his younger siblings, with a particular focus on the disposition of their father's residence at 38 Oxley Road.
Focus on Demolition Clause and Alleged False Statements

A central element of the estate dispute has been the demolition clause stipulated in Lee Kuan Yew’s will. Further complicating matters, in 2020, both the Court of Three Judges and a disciplinary tribunal determined that Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Suet Fern had provided false testimony under oath during disciplinary proceedings. These proceedings were related to Lee Suet Fern's management of Lee Kuan Yew’s final will, and the police involvement in the case commenced subsequent to these judicial and tribunal findings.
