(Retention of Siglap HDB block shows everyday, ordinary buildings matter, Oct  12).\nEven before Mr Lee Kuan Yew became prime minister, his house received many visitors such as unionists, who sought his help and legal advice. \nIt has also often been mentioned that Singapore’s founding fathers gathered in the dining room to hold long discussions that eventually led to the founding of the ruling People’s Action Party.\n\n\n\nI think it would be no exaggeration to say that those meetings held in that humble, simply furnished room determined the future of Singapore.\n\nAlthough the grand Founders’ Memorial will be built, I believe that for the ordinary Singaporean, nothing will beat being able to stand in the house where Singapore’s history was made.\nOur nation has already lost too many historic buildings to urban redevelopment over the years.
