SINGAPORE: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday raised serious questions on the way his father Lee Kuan Yew's last will was made, and whether there was a conflict of interest when his sister-in-law Lee Suet Fern helped prepare the will.

In a statement issued by his lawyers at Drew and Napier last night, PM Lee set out in detail the "deeply troubling circumstances" surrounding the seventh and final version of the will, and said he has "grave concerns" about whether the late Lee was "properly and independently advised" on its contents before he signed it.
