FILE - In this Sept. 1, 2015 file photo, Singapores Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, secretary general of the ruling Peoples Action Party, makes his way to the election nomination center with other party members in Singapore for a general election scheduled on Sept. 11. In a Facebook post Sunday, April 10, 2016, his sister Dr. Lee Wei Ling, a well-known neurosurgeon, said the government was trying to use the occasion of their father Lee Kuan Yews one-year death anniversary to hero-worship Lee Hsien Loong, according to Channel News Asia, a government-supported television station and news website. It said Dr. Lee suggested that her brother was abusing his power by conducting elaborate anniversary events, and trying to establish a political dynasty. (AP Photo/Joseph Nair, File)

“It has happened elsewhere, nobody can say it will never happen in Singapore,” he said.
