 本期内容：
A long-running feud1 among the family of Singapore's prime minister over the legacy2 of their father, the country's first leader, has resurfaced. In Facebook posts, two of PM Lee Hsien Loong's siblings3 accused him of going against their late father Lee Kuan Yew's wishes and abusing his power. The family dispute centers on a legal tussle4 over a house which belonged to their father. The prime minister, a popular leader, strongly denied all the allegations. But the row has shocked many in the city-state, where the Lees, widely considered Singapore's "First Family", are held in high regard.

Feud: 世仇
Legacy: 遗产
