Lee Family Feud - Larger Significance?

Yesterday, the younger siblings of Singapore’s prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong released a six page statement accusing the premier of betraying the legacy of their father, Lee Kuan Yew. He in turn denied the allegations and noted that he was saddened by his siblings decision to "publicise private family matters”. He and his wife Ho Ching, also denied that they have political ambitions for their son. Today, we ask if the family feud has larger political significance.
