SINGAPORE: Statements that Lee Hsien Yang and his family are victims of “unfounded” persecution are without basis, said the Singapore Government in response to queries from British newspaper The Guardian.
In a story published on Oct 22, The Guardian reported that Mr Lee had been granted asylum in the UK in August 2024, after fleeing what he described as “a campaign of persecution”. He had applied for asylum in 2022.
