SINGAPORE: Dr Lee Wei Ling on Thursday said she and Lee Hsien Yang would not have issued a public statement if the dispute with their brother, Singaporean prime minister Lee Hsien Loong, over their late father's house "were merely a family affair".

In a Facebook post, Dr Lee said the main message of their six-page statement released on Wednesday was not that the siblings feared what PM Lee would do to them.
