Mr Lee Kuan Yew wanted Oxley Road home demolished

[Tianmo]

Nobody actually has a slightest thought that the cause of this whole saga could be LWL? 

tiagong in the will, it was stated that the house be demolish immediately after  LKY died, or after LWL moved out.  Also tiagong it was LWL whom first insisted on this statement, and later pulled in LHY to support her. 

Latest tiagong before her passing was that it was her wish to stay on in 38, so anyone can think of a link here?

which begs the question why LHY still went ahead despite knowing the govt can literally step in to stop demo. And his bro WAS the head of govt 🤔 

KGC dead

LKY dead

LWL dead

Conditions LKY thought should precede the demotion had been fulfilled

Time to show hand.

She was the caregiver of her parents. No surprise there could be some influence to reflect the actual wishes of her parents in the will. The will is not challenged so let's leave it at there.

The timing is uncanny....passed on after her brother stepped down from pm post.

LWL was unmarried and was the primary caregiver of LKY and wife in their old age. I think there's nothing wrong with her wanting to stay on in Oxley for convenience.

The better question is why he tells the whole world even b4 he apply.

Money not the key here. Getting even over the fight more important. One way to tell the world how power can twist and turn easily. But remember, it will be forgotten by election time. 😆

Today I kaypo a bit. 

IMO, the law is also being set by LKY and his Gov, actually the Gov has everything to say. Including not respecting the old man's wish. 

In the case here, if this country's history need to be preserved and it is the Gov's job to do it. 

If this is the country's law, we need to respect it more than the old man's wish lah. 

Personally, I do not support the party. But when you see the 2 brothers, one has spent most of his life working for the country. (Let's not say if he did a good job, as not all people will like him and his party). The other one is because of his father and flying those top jobs for his personal gains. 

For me, I will just say, let the Gov do their job, they are the ones to decide is the history need to be preserved and how to do it. Good or bad, when decision comes up, someone got to do it and be judged on it will do lah

No basis. Nada. Kosong.

I also kapoh a bit today.....not that is our business ah..

i agree that to let the Gov do thier business ..but we are looking from afar...and the 2 is in the middle.

like it or not, they will have to be involved coz of the father! also maybe one of them have made a promised to a dying father and need to keep that promise else how to face him next time...

is tough looking from outside, as we are not the ones that are involved here, tough to say...
