The statement added that the acquisition of 38 Oxley Road means that it cannot be redeveloped for any purpose and that a study will be undertaken in preparation for the next steps for the site. After the October 2024 death of Dr Lee Wei Ling, Mr Lee’s daughter, who had been living at 38 Oxley Road, Lee Hsien Yang applied to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) to demolish the property. Mr Lee said he was submitting the application to demolish the house to honour his father’s last wishes. Others brought up the Founders Memorial, saying that it is a sufficient tribute to the late Mr Lee. /TISGRead also: Jamus Lim: 38 Oxley Road issue is ‘a family dispute best settled privately’
