HIGH DRAMA IN SINGAPORE:

Siblings of the current prime minister Lee Hsieng Loong (the son of former PM and founding father Lee Kuan Yew) have accused him of mismanagement and abuse of his power, over a family dispute regarding his father's old house, and are fleeing the country in response. Also says his wife (who is coincidentally in charge of one of our sovereign wealth funds) is too powerful. This is the most interesting thing to happen in this country in the last 30 years.
Basically, Lee Kuan Yew wanted no monuments to be made of him at all, for fear of cultivating a personality cult or being too self-aggrandizing. One of his requirements in his will was that his house be demolished following his death to avoid it becoming a monument of sorts(he died 2 years ago). Lee Hsien Loong, however, has resisted, and insisted the house not be demolished. His siblings accuse him of doing this so as to maintain political capital by continuing to ride on his father's legacy. They also say he has taken great steps to preserve his popularity above all else, engaging in self-aggrandizing that his father wished to avoid.
Worryingly, Lee Kuan Yew himself didn't seem to trust his son, and didn't make him - the eldest son - executor of his estate and in charge of his will. Furthermore, the family accuses Lee Hsieng Loong of preparing his son for political ambitions - furthering the Lee dynasty and diminishing any claim Singapore has to "meritocracy" when its Prime Ministership seems to resemble a monarchy. They also say they've become increasingly uncomfortable and "watched over" whilst living in Singapore, suggesting some level of intimidation against them, and this has factored into their decision to leave the country.
The Prime Minister has responded on facebook, basically saying "oh fucking hell I'm on my vacation Imma deal with you when I get back, keep personal matters private" but in a more ministerial tone.
Remember kids, if you ever though "benevolent dictatorship" was a good form of government, think beyond one generation. Lee Kuan Yew's greatest mistake was failing to dismantle the strength of the executive and the ruling party before stepping down, out of a paternalistic instinct that no party but his own was qualified to run the country.
