In June 2017, Mr Lee Hsien Yang and Dr Lee took to social media and accused Mr Lee Hsien Loong, the then Prime Minister, of misrepresenting their father for political gain and that the elder Lee had wanted their family home to be demolished.
"In reaching our views on Mr Lee Kuan Yew's wishes, we relied particularly on the objective evidence placed before us and the key concrete steps that Mr Lee Kuan Yew himself took in his lifetime to put his wishes into effect," Mr Teo said previously. The late Mr Lee said in his will that he wanted the house to be demolished. If that were not possible, the property should be closed to everyone except family and descendants.
