Singapore Preserves Site of Lee Kuan Yew’s House as Monument

Singapore will preserve the site where the home of founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew stands as a national monument after a lengthy dispute among his children over its fate.

The site at 38 Oxley Road was gazetted on Friday due to its “historic significance and national importance,” the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth said in a statement. The decision had taken into consideration an objection from Lee Hsien Yang, Lee’s youngest son.
