Family feud over 'hero worship' erupts in Singapore

SINGAPORE -- Lee Wei Ling, the daughter of Singapore's late founding father Lee Kuan Yew, has accused her brother, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, of being a "dishonorable son" and trying to "establish a dynasty" through the nationwide commemoration last month of the first anniversary of their father's death

     Taking to social media, Lee Wei Ling expressed her disappointment that the government and media were promoting the "hero worship" of her father, something she felt her father would not wish to see. "Lee Kuan Yew would have cringed at the hero worship just one year after his death," she said on her Facebook page.
