Lee Hsien Yang to apply for demolition of family home at 38 Oxley Road

He plans to build a small private dwelling that will be held within the family in perpetuity.

Lee Hsien Yang has announced his intention to apply for the demolition of the family home located at 38 Oxley Road in a move to honor his late parents' wishes.

Following the demolition, he plans to construct a small private dwelling that will be held within the family in perpetuity.

“I am the only living executor of my father Lee Kuan Yew’s estate,” he said in a Facebook post.

He noted that Lee Kuan Yew had explicitly requested the house to be demolished “immediately after” his daughter Wei Ling vacated the premises.  “It is my duty to carry out his wishes to the fullest extent of the law,” Lee said.

Lee also referenced a statement made by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Parliament in 2015, indicating that the decision to allow demolition would rest with "the Government of the day" upon Wei Ling's passing.

“It has been nine years. That day is today,” he stated.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
