Abstract

The article focuses on Singapore's decision to preserve the site of the home of founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew at 38 Oxley Road as a national monument, following a family dispute regarding its fate. The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth announced the gazetting of the site due to its historic significance, despite objections from Lee Hsien Yang, Lee's youngest son. The property has been contentious since Lee's death in 2015, with family members accusing each other of undermining their father's wishes regarding the house's demolition. The government plans to acquire the site and transform it into a public space while respecting the late premier's intentions. [Extracted from the article]
