SPF Clarifies: Lee Hsien Yang & Wife Free to Come Back to Singapore

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) clarified on Friday (Oct 11) that Mr. Lee Hsien Yang and his wife, Mrs. Lee Suet Fern, are free to return to Singapore without any legal barriers. The couple left Singapore in 2022 after opting not to attend a scheduled police interview, but the SPF confirmed that they have always been free to return.

"The police confirm that there are no legal restraints preventing Mr. Lee Hsien Yang and Mrs. Lee Suet Fern from returning to Singapore. They have always been free to do so," the SPF said in a statement responding to media inquiries.

In June 2022, the police had asked Mr. and Mrs. Lee to assist in investigations by attending an interview. Although they initially agreed, they did not appear and instead left Singapore on June 15, 2022, and have not returned since.

The investigation relates to potential offences of providing false evidence in judicial proceedings regarding the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s will. In March 2023, the police clarified that the couple had been cooperative and agreed to the interview, so an official order under Section 21(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code compelling their attendance was not issued.

Following the recent death of his sister, Dr. Lee Wei Ling, Mr. Lee Hsien Yang responded to queries from CNA, stating that he would not be returning to Singapore to attend her wake and funeral. He shared that he was organizing the funeral remotely with the assistance of his son, Li Huanwu, in accordance with his sister’s wishes.

"I will not be returning to Singapore for both," he reiterated.
