Lee Kuan Yew's house will be preserved as a national monument despite his son's [Hsien Yang] and (late) daughter's wish to demolish it.
The Heritage Board stated the house is worth preserving as a national monument because of so many national pivotal moments happening around it.
Eldest son Hsien Loong says its up to the government.
Lee Kuan Yew - One of the World's greatest political leaders.
When Margaret Tatcher was asked to name people she respected MOST she named Deng Xiao Ping and Harry Lee (Kuan Yew), and then as an afterthought (long pause) her old buddy Ronald Regan.
The Iron Lady respected two Chinese, wow.
LaoLee wanted no family legacy after his passing. Yet the 1st daughter-in-law wants a legacy of her own. Knowing that, thus LaoLee passed his power of attorney about the house to the 2nd son & only daughter to act on his behalf.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately after his passing the elder son is a hen-picked entity with all the hen's commands go. Thus the start of the brother sister feud & the split of kindred relationship.
Thanks for info CK
