Li Ka-Shing
Chairman, CK Hutchison Holdings
REAL TIME NET WORTH — as of 6/14/17
us$33 Bn
Hong Kong's richest person, Li Ka-shing is one of the most influential tycoons in Asia, with interests in everything from ports, utilities and telecom to real estate and retail. His companies employ over 310,000 people in more than 50 nations. He's been shifting much of his focus to Europe, where he invested more than $28 billion over five years. More recently he invested in Postal Savings Bank of China and also announced a more than $5 billion deal to acquire Australian electricity and pipeline company Duet. His rags-to-riches story is legendary: Li and his family fled China for Hong Kong during the Sino-Japanese war. Not long after their arrival Li's father, who had been a primary school principal in China, died from tuberculosis. At age 12 Li quit school and started as an apprentice in a watch-strap factory. By 14 he was working full-time in a plastics trading company. He eventually quit to start his own business making plastic toys and everyday items, and later plastic flowers.

If there was love and trust, there would be no need to do this. How happy the father who can pass with the confidence that his son would do what is necessary to honor his final wishes !

The Land Acquisition Act, Planning Act, and Preservation of Monument Act are in force to override any personal wills, legal binding or otherwise. Discuss.
Agree. Enter 2 individuals with no blood ties into the family core. Both are scholars and both have sons that are prospects with first rights to the throne. Both have used their connections via marriage to build their career and place themselves into the equation. .
When the Edward gave up the throne to wed a twice married divorcee Wallis with more than a tarnished background the World wondered. He probably thought it was love.
3 weeks after the demise of the Old Man and just days after the reading of the will, one of them suddenly takes leave of absence ostensibly to help catalogue and sort out the house possessions, the battle lines were drawn.

Lee brothers communicate with each other via their lawyers: Reuters
June 15, 2017
Not a common family problem.
Belmont Lay
The ongoing spat in the most famous Lee household in Singapore has barely lasted a day, but a lot has already been revealed.
As Singaporeans struggle to keep up with the copious amounts of news reports and updates, one of the pieces of information that has been most telling but also most likely missed is this revelation: Lee Hsien Yang and his elder brother Lee Hsien Loong are speaking to each other through their lawyers.
This is according to a news report by Reuters on June 14, 2017, which quoted Lee Hsien Yang.
“Threats”
Over the course of one day, since Wednesday, June 14, Lee Hsien Yang has made use of some harsh words to describe what he has been feeling. This ranged from feeling “unwelcomed” to “threatened” to “persecuted” in Singapore — sentiments that have made him give up on Singapore to move abroad.
Reuters reported it had tried to independently verify the accusations, but were unable to. Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling were also unable to provide specific evidence of action by the Singapore government against them.
However, one thing was clear: Lee Hsien Yang said he was on the receiving end of messages that made him feel out of place, but it was not from his elder brother directly.
Here’s why, as reported by Reuters, quoting Lee Hsien Yang:
“There are many ways that messages get sent to people to make them feel unwelcome and I have received many messages. Not from my brother because we communicate via lawyers,” he said in an interview.
“I would not do this if I did not feel threatened,” he said, adding that he is not an impetuous anti-establishment figure out to attack the Singapore government or his brother.
The siblings said they believed the prime minister and his wife “harbor political ambitions for their son, Li Hongyi.”
Clarification
Further clarification about the specific threats Lee Hsien Yang faced were attempted by Today, when they interviewed him face-to-face outside his Caldecott Close home on Wednesday evening.
However, it was not entirely clear what he meant even then, as he said his persecution stems from the ministerial committee being set up.
This is so as it appears to Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling that the ministerial committee was put together to reverse the decision to demolish Lee Kuan Yew’s 38 Oxley Road house. This is despite the late Lee Kuan Yew’s will stating he wanted the house demolished eventually.
Today reported:
On the fears of the use of organs of state you mentioned, could you tell us more about that fear?
LHY: The cabinet has just put out a note and talked about some of the things. What is the cabinet committee doing on 38 Oxley Road notwithstanding our settlement with Loong? Why is there even a Cabinet committee when PM Lee (Hsien Loong) had announced in Parliament that so long as (younger sister) Wei Ling is living there, nothing needs to be done? Why when the Government says the government of the day will decide when Lee Wei Ling is no longer (living there) … is the Government of today convening this Cabinet committee?
[…]
The committee had said you indicated that the earliest you would respond would be by the end of June?
LHY: We have had mountains of correspondence over almost a year but the Committee continues to raise the same questions. They have nothing to do with the subject of the Committee which is being used to make trouble. You asked for an example of persecution and here is a prime one.
[…]
You said you and your sister have been persecuted. Can you be more specific?
LHY: The Committee is one very specific example.

If you are a peasant no body shit, those laws u mentioned applies to you. But when you are God of Singapore the laws of mere mortals do not apply. What is there to discuss? Which govt agency dare to go against his wishes and then have Wei Ling and Yang humtam them in public?

Most people would get that the entire clan and all 3 siblings were direct beneficiaries of old man's and the wife's abuses.
In this instance, sides are taken not out of merit or the need for justice but natural inclination to go for the underdog.
The post is however a timely reminder that none of the 3 are angels. It was eldest brother when as MTI minister who made the younger brother the CEO of SGX's most valuable company straight out of the army with no corporate background. It was the sister-in-law who made him Exe Chairman of one of Singapore's oldest and iconic companies leading to the departure of a key individual that made the company relevant and highly profitable.
The one son each of both brothers were allowed to circumvent 5 decades old MOE regulations to be admitted to SAS. Younger brother's son could not cope with Mandarin as a mandatory 2nd language which the Old Man created while the official reason given was dyslexia.
The daughter was given her own hospital, an actual official designation that she uses extensively overseas but called an Institute locally by the fraternity and the press. It has in the past breached budgets to get the best toys. Anywhere else she would have been officially boarded medically out for her long running medical saga and lengthy absences which seem to start and end with an overseas trek or break.

I just want the “And even from my sickbed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel that something is going wrong, I will get up.” Act. Disgust.
