SINGAPORE, Oct 22 — Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son of the founder of modern Singapore Lee Kuan Yew and estranged brother of former premier Lee Hsien Loong, said today he is now a political refugee from Singapore under the UN Refugee Convention.

He said in a Facebook post that Britain has determined that he faces “a well-founded risk of persecution and cannot safely return to Singapore”. — Reuters
