Singapore takes possession of Lee Kuan Yew’s 38 Oxley Road home for conservation

Singapore's government has taken possession of 38 Oxley Road, the former residence of founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, to preserve it as a historical site. The move concludes a prolonged public debate involving the late leader's children, who were engaged in a family dispute over the property's future. The Singapore Land Authority and National Heritage Board stated that maintenance work will proceed, but the site will remain closed to the public until further plans are determined. The property, which holds significance in Singapore's independence movement and national history, was officially gazetted for acquisition in January. The government emphasized that the site will not be available for private redevelopment, highlighting its cultural and historical importance.
