Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday once again rejected claims from his siblings that he abused power.
Lee said he had never lied to his late father nor exploited Lee Kuan Yew's legacy as Singapore's first prime minister for his own political agenda.
Lee made the comments as he faced parliament over accusations from sister Lee Wei Ling and brother Lee Hsien Yang for reversing Lee Kuan Yew's final wish of demolishing a family bungalow. Lee Hsien Loong stressed that the allegations against him are unsubstantiated.
Singapore's Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong defended the prime minister in parliament, saying he has enough confidence in Lee, and the family dispute has been over-magnified.
