Lee Hsien Yang, the estranged brother of former Singapore prime minister Lee Hsien Loong, said Tuesday that he's now a “political refugee” after the UK government granted him asylum from what he described as persecution at home.
The Lee brothers are the sons of Lee Kuan Yew, modern Singapore’s founding father. They have been engaged in a public spat since 2017 over the late patriarch’s family home, and Lee Hsien Yang has accused the Singapore government of persecuting him, his wife and son.
