No doubt she is grieving, the person likely most impacted by this. But her brother is an important political figure, what she says will be used as political ammunition. She has had her way too long and forgotten how to be discreet and reflect. That is the fault of ST and the people around her, ironically, a situation cultivated by the very thing she is fighting, the cult of personality around LKY. She comes across as someone who heeds no counsel but her own. If one throws a tantrum in a private session, yes, understandable. But to publicly stick a knife in her brother's back and twist hard.....unforgivable. As an ordinary citizen I wouldn't even FB such a grievance against one of my own ordinary relatives, let alone one who is the PM.
Frankly, my first raw reaction was....why did she do that? :yikes: But I forgave her very quickly because I realised that she has not moved on....

And if external forces want to make a mockery of us, we just need to stick together and see this as a non issue to ride through the storm.

Yeah, just give her more time. She has always been attached to her dad as dad and not Mr LKY. It would be the same if you have a daughter, try asking your daughter if she looks as you as CEO of xxx company or just daddy especially if your daughter has different profession as you and never worked a day in your company before?

I wouldnt be so harsh.
The one person most aggrieved with the passing of LKY would be Dr. Lee Wei Ling. An intensely loyal child who is fighting for what she believes to be the wishes of her father. And by doing so she is doing a disservice to the legacy of LKY. It is sad. She needs to grieve and move on - find a better purpose in her life. Hope better senses prevail . 🙏

As our founding leader, we have a say. I wish better judgement prevails and and she realises the ruckus she is creating is only going to reflect badly for the nation and LKY.

It might be good for her to undergo grief counseling.

LKY has dedicated his life building Singapore. after 1 year, LWL doesn't seem to have moved on. Her big brother is fighting fire...and she had to rub in salt.

Some people take longer to grieve their losses, just give them time.

Most siblings would be fighting over inheritance. This family is fighting over legacy. Truly unique, but ultimately, quite pointless. How the world views and commemorate us after our passing is determined by acts during our lifetime. It is quite beyond our control.

This is precisely the point...it is not something both siblings can control to the minute details of Mr LKY's wishes so as long as they have done their part, it suffices. Another 100 years later if people decide to erect a statute of him and place it somewhere meaningful...who is to say no then?
Look at JS Bach...he only came \"alive\" 100 years after he died.

As for Dr LWL being a spoilt princess...I won't go as far as that to say that about her. She has certain passions in her life that she holds dearly to. She is obviously a person who deals in the emotional side of matters more, being a doctor who has stronger compassion plus her own strong opinions. She has likely taken the personal view to things about LKY more than LHL who has a public role too....so neither of them is right nor wrong...a matter of perspective.

If the nation cares to commemorate a great leader's anniversary, I think it speaks of how that person was. If LHL changed Changi Airport to LKY airport, which I find is perfectly tasteful, LWL will raise ruckus. Hope this spoilt princess moves out of 38 Oxley and stay elsewhere...hopefully cool off soon.

I've been watching this drama unfold since late Mar till yesterday. Nearly coughed out my salad during my lunch when I read her email to Ivan F which she'd already deleted.

Concurrently at around 1+pm, her SIL posted 1 funny picture of a monkey pointing its middle finger.
OK she's deleted that offensive caption-less monkey photo

From the email exchanges, you can tell ST editors have been very patient (and diplomatic) with her unusual demands.


They probably have been enduring for years. No wonder the ST sports assoc editor shot that FB post a few days ago.

besides, i find the whole anniversary thing tastefully done.

I have no doubt that there are some events that are tastefully done. But do you reckon more than 100 events imply that the situation is a bit \"over\" the top? What rubbed (pun intended) her the wrong way was the eraser event. I don't think that she feels there should be zero events...

My interpretation is that the kid sister loves her father deeply, so deep that she doesn't mind a public fight with big brother. 😢

Totally agree. As an outsider, I can't help but feel sad that such family feuds should be aired in public. It doesn't benefit anyone except those anti-LKYs who are probably laughing inside now. I've always followed LWL's articles in the ST and appreciated her candid expressions and unassuming attitudes towards her security officers. But to publicly accuse her older brother of \"abusing his power\" and calling him a \"dishonorable son\" is...in my personal opinion...a bit much and inappropriate. I sincerely hope PM Lee and his sister can settle this dispute amicably in private cos the whole world is watching.

From LWL's point of view, she is respecting her father's wishes, while the PM or Cabinet is not.

I tend to sympathise with her.

My non scientific gut feel is that big brother has too many 马屁精 revolving around him. 😉
