Lee Hsien Yang to Apply for Demolition of Iconic 38 Oxley Road Home

Following the death of his sister, Lee Hsien Yang seeks to fulfill his father's wish to demolish the historic family residence.

Lee Hsien Yang, now the sole legal owner of 38 Oxley Road, plans to demolish the home in accordance with his late father's wishes.
The house, a significant site in Singapore's history, was the residence of Lee Kuan Yew from the 1940s until his death in 2015.
A ministerial committee previously outlined three options for the property's future, including demolition, but left the decision to future governments.
The Lee siblings have been divided over the fate of the house, with past public disputes involving accusations of political motivations.
The Singapore government has yet to receive a formal application for demolition and will consider public interest and historical value in its decision.
