Why turn the Lee family saga into the Singapore saga?
March 8th, 2023 | 
Author: 
When the Lee family saga first erupted, Singaporeans saw it as unfortunate.
As it unfolded, it became sensational, garnering not only national but international headlines. It was painful to see a family squabble turn into a spectacle.
The Prime Minister’s nephew has since paid a price for his indiscretion, the Prime Minister’s sister-in-law too has paid the price for hers.
Now we are told that the police is investigating both the Prime Minister’s sister-in-law and brother, and they have left the country.
So the saga continues.
But for Singaporeans, it is no more unfortunate and painful. It is a distraction and a disturbance.
Every time something new and sensational happens, it is disturbing to families, disturbing to the community.
Within families, there is arguing because people being people, they take sides.
Within the community and on social media, there is bickering because there are pro-factions for the different sides of the Lee family.
It also becomes a political football, especially when it makes its way into Parliament.
Not to mention the own goal Singapore scores whenever it makes international headlines, ownself causing reputational damage to ownself.
Unless the Lees move on, the country cannot move on. Their saga becomes our saga.

The news is shadowing all other major concerns. Rising cost of living, ageing population profile, low birth rates, housing prices, Keppel bribery, SPH fake circulation numbers, TPL GRABBING a golden pot. Cannot allow a prez of another camp to come in and dig skeletons out.

Lee fathered a nation(his House) and also fathered his own children in his House. Nobody knows more about the father of the nation than his kids. His boys/ daughter are apparently very divided about his father’s legacy.
There is more to the fall out between the brothers then the superficial rhetoric outlined by state media. Singapore and the world should dig deep into the very foundation of the old man’s House , which has been shaken or rocked.
Earlier you find out the truth the sooner you face up to the problems less the whole house or nation collapses.
And you start with the values/philosophy of his ….offspring(no cover up)

What about Britain royalty ?
King Charles, prince william and kate, ex prince harry ( his book spare ) and Meghan ?
Siblings rivalry, families issues, …. sure have one.
Just that chinese like to keep it cover up and probably not talk about it or run away . Usual 家醜不可外揚. Its the 21st century, in reality one has to acknowledge such problem exist in every families. Just the scale of 1 or 10.
As HK 從亂到治 police case 蔡天鳳碎屍案 illustrate clearly.

The PM seems to enjoy the attention thiugh, what with him having super thick skin despite this being a family matter.
As long as he thinks it’s ok to wash his dirty linen in public then let us all enjoy the drama as it unfolds bit by bit.

Say what u wanna say, BUT it is all bcos of one person called “Mee Siam Mai Hum.” The rest is HIS STORY (I mean HISTORY).

Let lhl has his time & day.
Let lhl leaves a legacy of destroying his own siblings, Singapore, & Singaporeans.
This is his true self.
Let history records him as such.

In Singapore, the apparent heir was reading between the lines.

Lee Kayu the whole world is LAUGHING at that your family BECAUSE OF YOUR IDIOT SON. He is washing dirty linen in public and making you look like a fool.He is OUT TO DESTROY your younger son and daughter’s life. He is out TO FIX anybody and everybody that sand in his way. He do not care for Singaporeans or his brother’s or sister’s well being. He can ONLY FIX PEOPLE but is a BLUR FUCK when he needs FIXING SINGAPORE PROBLEMS.
He will go into history as the PM who brought in LEGAL GAMBELING,FIXING OF OPPOSITION,MASS IMPORTING OF FTs. DESTROYING HIS SIBILING’S LIFE.SLAPPING A MAN HIS SENIOR IN AGE AND POSITION.
I SERIOUSLY DO NOT SEE PM MATERIAL,ONLY A SPOILED BRAT WHO ALWAYS WANTS HIS WAY. The residents of Ang Mo Kio are VOTING FOR A MAN WITH SHITTY MORALS.

Response: Great Narrative! At the end of Holee Day, it’s Lee Kayu who had CREATED and So-called “NURTURED” a bunch of World Class Ministers including his Sunny Boy Mai Hum to squat and occasionally SNOOZE in ParLEEMent! And the WHOLE BUNCH OF JOKERS CUM USELESS BUMS who upon Lee Kayu meeting his Maker in March 2015, have WITHOUT ANY REGRETS started to WASH THE DIRTY AND SMELLY LINEN OF LEE KAYU FAMILEE DIENASTY RELENTLESSLY till to date! Folks here as well as rest of the Whole World are waiting like HAWK for MORE JUICY THINGY to unfold days ahead! Mai Hum and by extension his Wifey Holee Jinx, Jia Yu!

I only have sympathy for the daughter – she suffered a lot because of the old despot. He destroyed her relationship and kept her a political prisoner her whole life. Now after the Despot’s death she still has to suffer. Only Heaven knows the Truth why.
