Just over a week has passed since the saga concerning Singapore's most powerful family exploded came to light on Facebook, and started playing out before a shocked public and stunned media.

For most of this past week, the youngest child of the late Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien Yang, has been delving into nitty-gritty details that are not very straightforward to follow.

Nonetheless, as we bring you the important points from his updates.

On Thursday morning (June 22), Hsien Yang brought up the point of a "Deed of Gift" once again. You might have heard this term before, apart from in the younger Lee siblings' statement last week — we explained previously that it's a signed document that says a certain thing now belongs to someone else (whoever is named in the document).

What happened, as explained by Hsien Yang, is that he and Wei Ling, as executors of LKY's last will and as representatives of his estate, opted to donate a bunch of their father's items to the National Museum for the exhibition We Built A Nation.

To do this, they executed the Deed of Gift, with a condition requiring the National Museum to display the demolition clause from LKY's last will dated December 17, 2013.

So, what's the problem?

We raised previously the possibility that if the house at 38 Oxley Road, together with everything inside it, was initially bequeathed to Hsien Loong, the estate cannot donate stuff from the house to a third party without PM Lee's permission.

That could possibly have been why PM Lee had his then-lawyer Lucien Wong write to Hsien Yang and Wei Ling to demand to see a copy of the Deed of Gift... although a few hours later on the same day (June 12, 2015), he managed to get it, and then issue an immediate follow-up list of demands and objections.

Following that post on June 19, Hsien Yang's latest post on Thursday morning indicates that he already knew the answer to his question of whether his brother obtained the copy of the Deed privately or in his capacity as Prime Minister: it was the latter.

Here's a photo he shared with a screenshot response from the Attorney-General's Chambers, dated June 25, 2015, replying to his and Wei Ling's questions about this:

Here's what the screenshot says:

"Queries relating to the Deed of Gift

2. Your assertion that the Deed of Gift had been improperly given to others is not correct. Any major public exhibition concerning Singapore's founding leaders or founding Prime Minister, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, is a matter for deliberation by the Government. The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth has oversight over NHB and in turn is accountable to the Prime Minister's Office for such matters. Hence it is neither surprising nor improper that the latter would subsequently receive a copy of the signed Deed of Gift." (emphasis ours)

Hsien Yang followed up with the following question, which we also have on our minds and hope that Members of Parliament are taking note of in preparation for the sitting on July 3:

"When other ministers receive confidential documents in their official capacities, are they also allowed to use these documents to fight personal legal battles with family?"

Where is the line drawn?

As always, though, keep up with the Lee saga and its developments here:
