Singapore intends to preserve the house of its first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew as a national monument, opening a new chapter in the yearslong feud among his children.
Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth David Neo accepted the National Heritage Board’s recommendation to retain the site at 38 Oxley Road, the heritage board and Singapore Land Authority said in a joint statement on Monday.
