The sister-in-law of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has been handed a 15-month suspension from practising law following a guilty verdict earlier this year for professional misconduct in her handling of the final will of Lee Kuan Yew.
The Court of Three Judges, the highest disciplinary body to deal with lawyers’ misconduct, agreed with the disciplinary tribunal’s ruling earlier this year that Lee Suet Fern “is guilty of misconduct unbefitting an advocate and solicitor.”
