Lee Hsien Yang unlikely to meet criteria to run for elected presidency given court finding of lying under oath: Lawyers

Mr Lee Hsien Yang’s comments come a day after the Government revealed that as part of their investigations, the police had requested an interview with Mr Lee and his wife, lawyer Lee Suet Fern.

Mr Vadaketh said in his post that Mr Lee was one of the few non-establishment figures who could meet the stringent eligibility criteria for the presidency and possibly contest against a PAP-approved candidate. In 2020, a disciplinary tribunal as well as the Court of Three Judges - the highest disciplinary body dealing with lawyers' misconduct - found that Mr Lee and his wife had misled Mr Lee Kuan Yew in the execution of his last will.

Agreeing, a partner in a law firm who has over 20 years' experience as a lawyer and who declined to be named said that it would be “very difficult” for Mr Lee to convince the Presidential Elections Committee that he is a person of good character. Although it is possible in theory for Mr Lee to apply for a judicial review of the Disciplinary Tribunal’s findings against him, Asst Prof Ong said that it will only succeed if Mr Lee can identify a legal error committed by the tribunal in its fact-finding process.

If the person fails to attend as required, the police officer may report the matter to a Magistrate, who may then issue a warrant ordering the person to attend the investigation.
