Original sentence: Because Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his wife took discounts while purchasing an apartment in 1996 and Lee Suan Yew, Lee's younger brother, was on the board of directors of the company, this raised suspicions.Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan, former Cabinet Minister S.Dhanabalan and Heng Chiang Meng, who is President of the Real Estate Developer's Association (Redas), told the House that it was normal practice for developers to cite high list prices and offer customers varying discounts.Lee Kuan Yew claimed that Tang was trying to milk this issue for political capital and promptly sued him for defamation.The HPL case started when the Stock Exchange of Singapore criticized Hotel Properties Ltd (HPL) for its "tardiness" in disclosing details of sales of its condominium units to directors and their family members
Edited sentence: The HPL case were allegations that the then Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his wife took discounts while purchasing an apartment in the mid-1990s.The PAP insisted as this issue had been discussed in parliament (in the presence of 4 opposition members) and it had been confirmed that it was common practice to take discounts while purchasing an apartment, thus clearing Lee Kuan Yew of any wrongdoing, Tang was obviously trying to milk this issue for political capital and promptly sued him for defamation
