Singapore Considers National Monument Status for Lee Kuan Yew's Home

The government will assess the historical significance of the Oxley Road site amid family disputes over its future.

The National Heritage Board is conducting a study to determine if Lee Kuan Yew's former home should be preserved as a national monument.
Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son, has applied to demolish the house, aligning with his late father's wishes.
The site has been central to a public feud among Lee Kuan Yew's children since his death in 2015.
A 2018 ministerial report outlined options for the house, including preservation or demolition, leaving the decision to future governments.
The house is historically significant as it hosted key meetings that led to the formation of Singapore's ruling party.
