Maybe can look in another way.
Already Knew cannot so all the more must give such a name.

Just like some parents or family after several births of a girl would tend ( more like in desperation and to hope) named the newly born dau 来第 or 招第 in the hope that the next one will be a boy.
Pardon my chinese....not sure written correctly or not.

A police man have to arrest even his own family if they commit a crime.

A leader of a country, who is holding a way higher appointment and responsibility, can't ensure justice above family?

Suddenly the state sues the junior family member whose words carries lesser weight than the 2 members who are high in society....

Default LHY's reaction to LHL's interview with CNBC

Our brother says he is unsure that the feud is solved. Notwithstanding his public statements,
Hsien Loong has made no attempt to reach out to us to resolve matters in private.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General is busy prosecuting Hsien Loong’s nephew for his private correspondence.
The AGC’s letters make repeated reference to the family feud.

Default Transcript from the interview with CNBC

CT: It's been more than two years since your father, the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, passed away. What's life like, for you, post Lee Kuan Yew?

PM Lee: Well. Life goes on. I think Mr. Lee prepared well for the day when he would not be here,
and he made sure that Singapore would be able to go on without him. He handed over as Prime Minister in 1990. 25 years before he died.
So I think we miss him, we think of him often, we read his old speeches and we say, "well, that's still relevant to us today." The way he puts it still has a ring to it.
At the same time, we have to build on that and move forward, because if we just remained with what he had imagined and what he had done and nothing more,
I think he'd have been very disappointed.

CT: If he were alive today, what advice do you think he would have given you?

PM Lee: I think he would have said, "Press on, move on. Don't be looking at the rear view mirror.
Remember what has happened, understand how you got here, but look forward and press forward."

CT: You can hear his voice in your head?

PM Lee: (laughs) Yes, we can imagine that.

CT: Earlier this year, you had a dispute with your siblings over your father's estate.
For many, it was a rare moment in Singapore's politics where something so private involving the founding Lee family is made so public.
Have you and your siblings managed to resolve the issue?

PM Lee: Well the matter is in abeyance, I'm not sure if it's solved.

CT: Are you on talking terms with your siblings?

PM Lee: We have not recently communicated.

CT: How are relations with your siblings now? Do you hope to patch up with them?

PM Lee: Well, I think they are where they are. Perhaps one day when emotions have subsided, some movement will be possible. These things take time.

CT: Are you sad?

PM Lee: Yes, of course.

CT: And finally, you have until January 2021 to call the next elections. Could it happen in the next two years?

PM Lee: Yes, of course. Any time.

CT: So we should be prepared.

PM Lee: We always need to be prepared.

A good act. Several HK drama series condensed into 1.
