A bungalow where Singapore’s early leaders spent long hours laying the country’s foundations is under the spotlight as a bitter feud rages

The youngest child of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said on Tuesday he would apply to demolish the statesman's home in line with his wishes, following the death of Lee's daughter last week.

The house was Mr Lee Kuan Yew's home from the mid-1940s until his death in 2015, and was also the home of his daughter, Dr Lee Wei Ling, who died last week.

The home at 38 Oxley Road has been the subject of a bitter family dispute between former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his two siblings.

The youngest son of Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew is seeking permission from authorities to demolish his late father’s home in the latest escalation of a bitter feud over the fate of the country’s most high-profile property.
