Mr Lee Hsien Yang , the youngest child of founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, said he will be applying to demolish the house at 38 Oxley Road to build a small private dwelling.
The two younger siblings had alleged that SM Lee, then the prime minister, wanted the pre-war house preserved for his political gain, against their father’s wishes. SM Lee sold the house to Mr Lee Hsien Yang in 2015 at market value, on the condition that they both donated half of the value to charity. SM Lee donated 100 per cent of his proceeds.
SM Lee said subsequently that he accepted the ministerial committee’s conclusions, but that there was no need to make an immediate decision as his sister continued to live there. Dr Lee’s death last week means the house has become unoccupied.“I am the sole legal owner of 38 Oxley Road. After my sister’s passing, I am the only living executor of my father Lee Kuan Yew’s estate.
