SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's wife, Ho Ching, took to Facebook on Monday to offer her "embarrassed apologies" for a post on Sunday which got the social media world buzzing.

The post was a photo of a monkey showing a rude hand gesture. It came amid public criticisms by Lee's sister, Dr Lee Wei Ling, about how their father Lee Kuan Yew's first year death anniversary had been commemorated.
