SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Li Shengwu, the nephew of Singapore's prime minister, who will face contempt of court proceedings for comments he made suggesting the city-state's courts were not independent, said on Saturday he would not be returning to Singapore.
The office of Singapore's attorney general said on Friday it will seek to begin contempt of court proceedings against Li, a U.S.-based academic, over Facebook posts he made on July 15. The legal move is the latest twist in a family feud over the fate of late Singapore founding father Lee Kuan Yew's house that gripped the nation last month.
