In the torrent of new information that was dumped on us, one thing has been made quite clear.

This is an incredibly complex web of events.

And the relationships might not be as straightforward as one might think.

Such could be the case with now allies Lee Suet Fern and Lee Wei Ling.

According to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's edited summary of his statutory declaration, there appeared to be some friction between the two, which was largely due to the changes made between the 6th, and the last will.

See, for the 6th will, Lee Wei Ling was apparently handed a bigger share of Oxley Road.

This was reversed in the 7th, and last will.

Which resulted in all the children getting an equal share.

Lee Wei Ling's Doubt

According to the statutory declaration, this apparently caused some doubt in Lee Wei Ling (LWL).

"In the meantime, LWL began to harbour grave suspicions about the change in the shares in the Last Will. In July 2014, she told Ms Ho Ching (“HC”) in emails that Mr Lee had told her (LWL) a couple of years ago that he had left her an extra share of the Estate."

Especially towards Lee Suet Fern, who she allegedly assumed influenced Lee Kuan Yew to make the reversion.

This fits the timeframe of 2 November 2012 when the Sixth Will giving LWL an extra share was made. LWL also told HC that many months after that, LHY told her that Mr Lee wanted to go back to giving the children equal shares.

LWL also told HC (among other things) that the will (meaning the Last Will) reinstating equal shares of the Estate for the three children had been witnessed by notaries from LSF’s office. Crucially, she said “If that is what Pa wants, so be it. (Note: HC is PM Lee's wife Ho Ching)

But I don’t trust Fern, n she has great influence on Yang”, that “Later, Fern sent a “sweet” email to kim li about what had been done”, and that KKL and LWL had “wondered whether Yang pulled a fast one”." (Note: Kim Li is Kwa Kim Li, the lawyer who drafted the first six wills of LKY)

Despite the alleged mistrust, she seemed to find her peace with it.

She also said: “If it is Pa’s decision, I am ok with it. But I have a sense that Yang played me out”; “I was very upset that Yang did it to me”; and “I would have preferred that it was 3 equal lots all along without needing to suspect Yang and Fern. The money I don’t get does not upset me. It is that yang and fern would do this to me”.
