這段時間新加坡第一家庭內鬥持續發酵，一向低調的李家三代人陸陸續續都被捲入其中，而且還愈演愈烈。該事件不僅在新加坡引起軒然大波，更是登上世界各大新聞媒體的頭版頭條。
而眾所周知，這場內鬥的起因就是因為李光耀的故居是否拆除的問題。李光耀的次子李顯揚和女兒李瑋玲認為應該遵照李光耀的遺囑拆除故居，而李顯龍則認為拆除與否應交由國會討論後再行決定。
這時，有網友感嘆說道，如果李光耀先生還在，他會怎麼說和怎麼做呢？
為此，徐芳達作為李光耀先生生前的首席私人秘書，最近更是在其社交網站Facebook貼文上，發表了相關言論。
他寫道：「如果他的前上司還在世，他認為李先生會希望每個人都把新加坡放在首位，停止所有爭執和相互指責，以便能回到治理國家的工作、解決國家面對的現實問題、和改善人民的生活。」
而作為一名最了解李光耀先生處事風格的人，他還說道：「李先生也不會希望看到政府領導人和體制受到毫無根據的指控，打擊外界對他所創立的制度的信心。」
他還指出在過去2個星期里，那些沒有根據的指控，已經損害了新加坡的聲譽，而那是李先生用盡一生的心血。

我從2008年至2011年擔任李光耀先生的私人秘書，這算是我有過的最好的職位，因為這讓我有機會能直接從李先生那裡學習和觀察到他是如何處理和對待不同類型的人和事。在這3年里，我認識了Wei Ling，並和她成為了好朋友，而Wei Ling也是我一直崇拜和尊重的人之一。她有著自己的主見和看法，雖然有些時候會有點反應慢，但她有一顆美好的心，懂得真正地去關心她周圍的人。
看到過去2個星期所發生的一切，我很難過。那些野蠻無理的指控，已經嚴重破壞和影響到了新加坡的聲譽，而新加坡的聲譽也是李光耀先生用盡一生的心血。我不相信Wei Ling會做一些故意傷害國家的事情，所以我一再問自己她為什麼要這樣做？她被誤導了嗎？
如果李先生得知的這件事，他一定是把新加坡的利益放在個人利益之上！以前，在與部長和公務員的討論中，李先生多次提到這一點，他已經通過他的行動表明了自己的觀點。他的觀念激勵著我們所有的人。他也相信任何人包括他自己都要受到法律的制裁和約束。這些價值觀構成了我們國家建設的基礎，這也是新加坡和其他國家的區別之處。
了解李先光耀先生的人都知道，他是一直堅持認為法律面前必須人人平等的人。他會堅持用法律去對待每一個新加坡人，即使是在處理奧克斯利路38號的房子問題上。因為這些都是他所創造的。因而我也會希望他的繼承人們也都繼續堅持李光耀先生所堅持的一切制度和價值觀。他不會想讓他的家人受到任何特別的待遇 。
Hsien Yang 說他是「一個為了尊重父親的願望而努力的人」。新加坡是李光耀終身的熱愛，這是他的遺產。李先生不希望將家庭糾紛變成公眾面前的爭吵，這樣會傷害到新加坡的國際地位。他也不希望對政府領導和機構作出無根據的指控，破壞他所創造的制度。李先生始終將新加坡的利益置於個人利益之上。
除了爭議和指控之外，我們還有很多艱難的挑戰，我們需要解決新加坡的未來、如何發展經濟，為新加坡人創造更好的就業機會，以及如何維護新加坡的安全，保持團結一致，面對日益增長的外來威脅。如果我的前老闆還在身邊，我想他會希望大家把新加坡作為優先事項，停止所有的爭吵和指責，以便我們能夠將重心回歸到國家事務上，解決我們現階段所面臨的實際問題和改進我們人民的生活。
I served as Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s Principal Private Secretary from 2008 to 2011. It was the best posting I ever had, as I had the opportunity to learn directly from Mr Lee and observe how he dealt with different types of people and handled difficult issues. During those 3 years, I also got to know Wei Ling and we became friends. Wei Ling is someone I admire and respect. She has strong views and can be very blunt at times, but she has a good heart and genuinely cares for the people around her.
It saddens me greatly to see what has been happening over the past 2 weeks, especially when I think of the pain it would bring to Mr and Mrs Lee. The wild allegations have damaged Singapore’s reputation, something which Mr Lee spent his entire life building up. I do not believe Wei Ling will intentionally cause harm to her country. So I have asked myself over and over again, why is she doing this? Has she been misled and misunderstood what happened?
One thing I learnt from Mr Lee is to always put the country’s interests above personal interests. Mr Lee would make this point repeatedly in his discussions with Ministers and civil servants, and he demonstrated it through his actions. He drummed this into all of us. He also believed in the rule of law and that no one, including himself, was above the law. These values formed the foundation of our nation building and differentiate Singapore from other countries in the region.
Knowing Mr Lee, he would be the first to insist that the law must apply equally to his will and the house at 38 Oxley Road just as it does to all other Singaporeans. These are in accordance with the systems which he created. I have no doubt Mr Lee would want his successors in the Government to continue to uphold these systems and values. He would not have wanted his family to be given special treatment – in fact this would make him most unhappy as it goes against his values and what he believed in.
Hsien Yang said he is 「a man working to honour his father’s wishes」. Singapore was Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s lifelong passion and it is his legacy. Mr Lee would not wish for a family dispute to be turned into a public quarrel that hurt Singapore’s international standing. Neither would he wish for baseless allegations to be made against Government leaders and institutions, undermining confidence in the systems he created. Mr Lee would put Singapore’s interests above personal interests.
Beyond the dispute and allegations, we have many tough challenges we need to tackle to secure Singapore’s future – how to grow our economy and create good jobs for Singaporeans, how to keep Singapore safe and remain united as one people in the face of rising threats. If my former Boss were still around, I think he would want everyone to put Singapore as the priority and stop all the quarrelling and finger-pointing, so that we can get back to running the country, solving the practical problems we are facing and improving the lives of our people. -- Hong Tat
