Singapore's heritage board will assess if founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's home should be preserved as a national monument, the culture ministry said on Thursday. The late statesman's youngest child Lee Hsien Yang applied on Oct.

NHB says allowing Lee Hsien Yang’s demolition bid now would rule out a ‘proper and full consideration’ of the options for the house.

Singapore temporarily blocked the demolition of the house of its first prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, as it weighs whether to preserve the property that has sparked a yearslong feud among his children.
