flag Lee Hsien Yang objects to Singapore's plan to make his father's home a national monument, citing his father’s wish for demolition.

flag Lee Hsien Yang, owner of 38 Oxley Road, has formally objected to Singapore’s plan to gazette the former home of his father, founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, as a national monument. flag He cited his father’s 2013 will and consistent wishes for the house to be demolished, rejecting claims that Lee Kuan Yew supported preservation. flag The government announced the gazette plan on November 3, citing the site’s historical significance for key political discussions. flag Lee’s objection, submitted by the November 17 deadline, challenges the government’s rationale, though the final decision rests with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. flag Public opinion since 2015 has largely favored demolition.
