SINGAPORE – Lawyer Lee Suet Fern has responded to a tribunal that found her guilty of misconduct in the handling of late founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s will, saying that she disagrees with its report and intends to “fight this strongly when it is heard in open court”.
She added that any member of the public can obtain the entire record of the closed-door proceedings of the tribunal from the Law Society.
“I urge the public to look at these and come to their own independent conclusions,” she added.
Mrs Lee’s comments were posted on Sunday (Feb 23) on the Facebook page of her husband, Mr Lee Hsien Yang, who is the late Mr Lee’s younger son and current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s younger brother.
She also thanked her lawyers, former Attorney-General Walter Woon, Senior Counsel Kenneth Tan and Providence Law, for an “outstanding and impressive defence”.
“I am deeply grateful to them,” she said.
The Straits Times reported on Sunday that the disciplinary tribunal had found Mrs Lee, 61, guilty of grossly improper professional conduct in how she handled Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s will. He died on March 23, 2015 at the age of 91.
