This was provided that suitable arrangements were made to ensure that the building was refurbished and kept in a habitable state and the family’s privacy was protected, NHB further said. \nNHB noted that Mr Lee Hsien Yang, the current owner of 38 Oxley Road, had made an application on Oct 21 to the URA to demolish the house. But making such a move now will rule out a proper and full consideration of the options, NHB added.\nThe ministerial report had set out options for the building and also for the site where the building is located.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nThe NHB said the study will determine if the site “has national historical, heritage, and architectural significance as to be worthy of preservation”. ST PHOTO: KUA CHEE SIONG\n\n\n\n \n\n\nNHB said these include retaining the entire building, retaining only the basement dining room, or demolishing the building fully but designating the site for alternative use (for example, as a park or a heritage centre). \n\n“These options are not exhaustive. The intention is for a future government to consider these, and other options that could emerge later, and make an informed and considered decision in the fullness of time, taking into consideration the wishes of Mr Lee Kuan Yew” it added.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nThe basement dining room at 38 Oxley Road, photographed in October 2011. This was where the founding members of the People’s Action Party (PAP) discussed setting up a new party. PHOTO: ST FILE\n\n\n\n \n\n\nNHB said the study will be conducted by its Preservation of Sites and Monuments Advisory Board, which comprises experts from various sectors.\nThe Board’s recommendation will be submitted to the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, who will decide whether to issue a preservation order for the 38 Oxley Road site under the Preservation of Monuments Act.\nIf the decision is to preserve the site, NHB will issue a notice of intention to the owner, who may submit any objections to the Board “within a reasonable period” before the minister makes a final decision.\nNHB said if the site is preserved as a national monument, all options for 38 Oxley Road will remain open to the current and future governments, because the preservation order can be amended or revoked as the government of the day deems appropriate. It would also mean that no rezoning to or alternative use of the site is allowed until a decision is made in the future.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\nQuestions over the fate of the house re-opened after the death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s daughter Dr Lee Wei Ling on Oct 9, who had been living since his death in 2015. \nMr Lee’s two remaining children – Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mr Lee Hsien Yang – have publicly disagreed over the fate of the house and the interpretation of their late father’s wishes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\nNearly a week after Dr Lee’s death, Mr Lee Hsien Yang said he will be applying to demolish the house at 38 Oxley Road to build a small private dwelling.\nIn a Facebook post on Oct 15, Mr Lee Hsien Yang said he intends for the dwelling to then “be held within the family in perpetuity”.\n\n\n\n\n\nMore On This Topic\n\n \n\nMinisterial panel lays out 3 options for 38 Oxley Road, says fate of Lee Kuan Yew’s house is for future govt to decide\n\n\n\n \n\nOxley Road report: PM Lee accepts committee’s conclusion on his late father’s wishes and the options on house","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2477540165"}
