SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday rejected claims from his siblings that he abused power and engaged in nepotism as he faced parliament over a family feud that has shocked Singapore. The city-state is tightly controlled and has long been used to censorship and libel suits against critics of the family. Lee Kuan Yew served as prime minister from 1959 to 1990, and the current leader has been in power since 2004. The city-state has had only one other prime minister, Goh Chok Tong. Lee Kuan Yew feared the house would become a monument, with strangers walking through the family’s private quarters.
