LKY last wish should be respected! He has done much for Singapore. This is what we can do for him. There are many ways to remember historical moments. With advance of technology, we can make it more real with virtual reality.
Anyone who had read LKY's book ' Hard truths,' will be aware of his expressed wish to demolish his home because he abhorred hero worship. LKY also stated that his wife found it repulsive that visitors to their ' museum home' is akin to voyeurism . If politicians & Singaporeans wish to express their affection & respect to their founding father, they should RESPECT HIS WILL to demolish his home. As a compromise, a humble park with a small sign can replace their demolished home.
We need a physical reminder and a national site to forever commemorate and remember the great legacy of the first PM LKY the man who built Singapore. I think it’s important that we have a national site to forever remember the founding father. Other countries have these national sites, Singapore should have one too.

Why do you think such event happened? Do you think it is unfair? Do you think a person is greater than a country? I think that the series of events / problems were created by the very same man you praised. If he didn't rule with iron fist, do you think there is still issues right now?

The man has done much for Singapore. We should all learn from his lesson to us about hero worship (rather not to follow such pursuit). Despite how much we feel we need to pay tribute to him (turning his home into a museum, build a public monument etc). Let’s respect the man for his wishes and not impose our personal feelings and/or views on the issue. 🙏🏻
@@anjalikastarr2824 Your stupidity is beyond my comprehension. Law vs Will, which one rules over? You can waste your time to write 1000000 wills, nothing will change if the law of the country says otherwise. Learn to respect the law, nobody is above the law!
@@dimitrilin9312 My stupidity or your poor comprehension of English. I was questioning OP in the call to honor LKY's will. Even before Dr.Lee's death, Hsein Yang and his supporters here were calling for LKY's will to be respected. What these people have done is to ignore other portions of the will. LKY had explicitly stated that in the event the prevailing law prevents demolition, the house may never be opened to others except his children, their families and descendants. Now let's see whether there is any change to the law. Next time read and understand before you start foaming at the mouth and going rabid.
I see most of the comments here have totally disregarded other details of Lee Kuan Yew’s will. In the will it was stated explicitly that the house was to be demolished once the daughter, Dr. Lee was no longer living there, subject to there being no changes to the law that would prevent its demolition. Should there be changes to these regulations, it was the wish of LKY that the House may never be opened to others except his children, their families and descendants. Even long before Dr. Lee’s death, Lee Hsien Yang had started ranting about how his elder brother was against demolition of the house and made all sorts of premature accusations. I am a long time admirer of Lee Kuan Yew but I am not a fan of Lee Hsien Loong. I am here just to give an objective view of the saga.
Are you saying that LKY's Last Will and Testament should be executed based on what he said in some video? And not on something written that has all the details and conditions stated therein?
Rightly so. Where "money, pride and ego, power ..." are concerned, life and relationship can become very complicated. A simple ordinary person will not face such a problem.
Got Founders memorial on the way. Why so greedy for Oxley Road??? Choose one. So disgusting and disgraceful to use government resources to covert Oxley Road.
While we respect the wishes of LKY whom we held in high regards, the government at the same time must not forget to tackle the high costs of living that many Singaporeans face.
Presently, Is there anything else stopping LHY from demolishing the house? If not, then why continue to make a spectacle of this ugly issue? LKY has made being a Singaporean proud, but this public family dispute is embarrassing us globally.
There is nothing to stop Lee Hsien Yang from demolishing the house now that Dr. Lee has passed away unless there are changes to the law. It is the younger of the Lee brothers that has brought disrepute to this matter all these years with his baseless accusations.
The last will and testament is a declaration of intentions of one’s assets after death. The executor of this will have been warned to remove the demolition clause. The demolition clause in the will has nullified the possession of 38 Oxley Road. Rule of law: When the property is demolished , the land returned to the state and the landowner has to pay for redevelopment.
It's a private family affair. Let it be categorised as such. If the government wishes to acquire it for whatever reason - as it has done for many private property such as for road or MRT construction, housing project, monumental preservation or military bases - it can do so with a simple stroke of the pen, just pass a law. Why so complicated? LHY and LWL make it looks so complicated. Many Singaporeans also had their wish not to vacate their home or flat which they had live all their live, but had to do so because of some government projects or purposes. Their wishes not granted. Ditto with citizens LKY, LHY and LWL
Only the exterior of the house and the basement where meetings were held would be preserved The interior of the house (except the basement) would be gutted. LKY was open to this suggestion as Singapore history would be greatly enriched with his house preserved and becoming a historic house. RIP Lee Wei Ling.
Do we need to preserve the house at all? Singapore had already a preview - or premotion - of what is to come late last year and early this year with the "LKY: THE EXPERIENCE". It was an interactive immersive multi-media exhibition featuring a lot of the LKY legacy and artefact including the car Lee Kuan Yew drove and others. It's was educational, fun experience for the kids and adults, and anyone interested in his life. It was more meaningful then just going to see a house at Oxley Road - unless it is turned into a museum with all the gadgets and exhibits akin to the "LKY : The Experience".
What exactly is LKY's legacy?!?!?! When LKY was in power, he agreed to Land Acquisition Act, right? So why the double standards now? What about those who were forced to vacate their land in the past for Sg's development? LKY should have see this coming, and if he didn't, then he is not a man of great visionary as claimed by the state media. A man so well-versed in the English literature didn't know the ending to each and every family rivalry stories? What an overrated person....
You don't know? So sad. You are not a Singaporean. It's ok if you have not watched videos of him on TV, on state visits, world platforms and so on. Simply note who are the world leaders and VIPs who attended his funeral.
LKY wanted to demolished his house as an happy ending. Nobody expected Siblings Rivalry with LHL continuations to fight on. Don't blame LKY as you may see the misadventures after your own death. You point is not on the correct direction 🖕
In every country there are similar land acquisition acts to serve public interest. Highways and rail lines have to be built or there would be no development. LKY left nothing out in his will. He didn't want his house to be preserved to honour him after his death. Get your facts right before you vent your frustrations here.
@@anjalikastarr2824 Oh, so what is the issue now??? Use your pea brain to think and reply. Stop embarrassing yourself. Go and do your homework!

😮 With great respect to All Sides ...

There is no why. This is simply reality. Local Singaporeans will not change their vote just because of this matter. GST vouchers are far more important than LKY's will, though of course no Singaporean will ever admit it. Like I said, please move on.
38 Oxley Road SHOULD be preserved as Singapore’s heritage and of great significance in the founding of Singapore especially where the first meetings of the PAP and LKY took place. There’s a great possibility that the younger brother with the sister influenced-misled LKY when he was in a weakened feeble condition, unclear thinking to put his signature possibly without comprehending /seeing what he was signing.
Strike when he is most vulnerable. What about other founding leaders like Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaratam, Yusof Ishak etc? Why they do not face such a problem?
