Lee Kuan Yew had famously said in 2011, 'I don't think my daughter or my wife or I, who lived in it, or my sons who grew up in it, will bemoan its loss. They have old photos to remind them of the past'
Sharing some of the reasons why he wanted his house demolished, Mr Lee said: “I have seen other houses – Nehru’s, Shakespeare’s – and it’s a shambles after a while, people trot through and so on.”
“I don’t think my daughter or my wife or I, who lived in it, or my sons who grew up in it, will bemoan its loss. They have old photos to remind them of the past.” The younger siblings went on to allege that the PM was seeking to preserve the house against their father’s wishes and use it to bolster his political credentials. PM Lee denied the allegations and defended his actions as prime minister and Parliament absolved him.
