What if his purported Will is a Product of FRAUD, Undue Influence etc … ie. LKY’s Will was never Formally Challenged in Court but We know LHY & Wife is under Probe…🤔
One of the ways to show our respect towards a loved one is to abide by his/her wishes, imagine you had written your wishes in your will explicitly but ended up not being honoured or carried out accordingly??!! I don't understand why is it so difficult to honour the wishes of the deceased? None of us can avoid death, we will be gone one day, would we not want our own wishes (if any) be honoured upon our death?
As a Singaporean, trying to understand my late PM.Lee I believe he was a very incredible man, from the time we Singaporeans knew our great leader yes he was a great leader but also extremely humble simple in his own right, look he didn’t even try to cling on to power for one day… I guess he was so great he didn’t even think of reminding people how great he was by turning his once home into a museum, because I’m sure what he did and accomplished during his lifetime we and all our future decades Singaporeans will remember all his all his greatest achievements. So I hope my fellow Singaporeans would concur with me with his wishes “ let Oxley be torn down!! and his legacy be left in peace forever…..thank you. Or give all Singaporeans a chance help our beloved leader “Rest in Peace” a vote to the outcome? I hope whatever the result we and the government must listen to their people’s voices?
True! Let him live in peace! What do difficult to demolish the house as requested by our father MR Lee Kuan Yew. It is not telling you to come out a million. It is just so simple to obey the request by all Singaporean Father. I hope there is no more hesitation or motive as not following our beloved father instruction. We remember Father Lee in our heart but not looking at the building as it serve no purpose. Please don’t ever go against his will 🙏🙏🙏
I m a Malaysian in my mid seventies n l remember quite vividly that LKY once said he would prefer hundreds of people living in his small compound rather him occupying ‘ alone ‘ : very unselfish. What a great ‘ STATESMAN ‘
All options are nonsense except to fullfil the last will of the estate owner. Anything out of the will of deceased is not respectful n unlawful as well. This got nothing to do w good or bad, rather, it's the last will n what the soul wanted per se.
Respect LKY = Respect his wishes. He had went on interview to say his wish on the house. If we respect him, the government respects him, then the more they should follow their wishes. They do not want their house to be a public place. We should respect their wishes. Not many want their house to be displayed liked a museum. I don't think much of those ministers now will want their homes to be known to the public too. Why must it be delayed to a long long time? LHY is still living. He paid for it. Mr Lee left his will. We have so much video and talk abt LKY on his world views, Singapore views etc. We do not need his house. Its not our memories. Its their family memories. What has it got to do with us? The government should not complicate the situation. What is there to see in the house? If Singapore respects LKY then the more we should allow him to have his wishes as an individual. Do not complicate the situation. Government shouldn't be interfering in the first place. Don't delay this situation to the future government because its not even their problem. Its personal asset (of LKY). Its unfair to the family.
I feel that Mr. LKY wishes should be honoured and no one should interfere. This conflict would not have happened if it had been carried out. Yes, all Singaporean will forever remember him in our hearts n mind. Good idea, name our airport after Mr. LKY.
Mr LKY and Mrs LKY turning in their graves when they start to fight over this issue again. Now, it will be interesting to see how our dear Mr Lawrence Wong going to handle this. Probably he will listen to his predecessor and preserve the whole house and place.
Why would a government comprising of highly educated and learned people not understand simple English expressed by their leader whom they profess to respect and honour? Given that it is a family matter as mentioned, why should the government being an outsider put their leg in and lead the country to global shame? What kind of government is this? If they simply kick the can down the road hoping that future generations would find it less contentious, then the present government deserves no respect.
Mr Loo is very simple let Singaporean vote and decide for them. SM try to keep it for what? I love and respect our father LKY in my heart for he done for Singapore . And since LHY and sister already said their dad and mum asked them to demolish, just do it. It shouldn’t made it till so big issues and let all Singapore uneasy and wasted all the precious time. 一间屋子搞到大家都不得安宁 让全新加坡🇸🇬人也都在谈论 浪费时间 应该放的就放下 海阔天空😎😎😎😎😎
Who is the legally registered owner(s). If it's private & personal I.e. not paid by Gov than it shall be decided by the owners or children that inherited it. The Gov should not interfere with the wishes of the legally registered owners or its inheritors.
Politicians please don't interfere into Oxley house matters, office politics are bad enough and to be blunt, politicians politics are worst, very sickening sometimes. Late LKY will be very SAD if his children are still in this disharmony state. If late LKY wanted his house wanted to be demolished, so be it! Respect his wishes. Simple as that! 😢
As much as i think the house should be retained for historical purposes, but since it is expressed clearly by the deceased person that the house is to be demolished, we should honour the deceased person's wish.
Bible the Lord's Word - Mark 8.36 : for what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 2) Hope for the restoration according to Mr/Mrs LKY wishes the Last Will. Tks❤️🙏
This is an internal family's affair. Non of our business even though he was the founding leader of the country. After serving Singapore till he died, you still want to violate his wishes? There many ways to remember someone. Marking his birthday as a national holiday, keeping his photo, books etc in the national library etc. Let LKY have some room for his personal and family wellbeing. It the least Singaporean can do la.
Yes, I heard Mr LKY said " He'll wake/jump up from his grave" if anything not right for Sg. He and his cabinet were great architects and builders of Majulah Singapura. Pray/Hope they rest in peace. Tks.
The house now belongs to LHY. It’s his call. My own opinion is to respect LKY’s wish that he didn’t want to be immortalized in anyway. He already his memoirs. It’s best to take photos of the house externally & internally, keep some small artifacts & display these at Founders’ Memorial which is being built. Also our Sg history books should record the phases of Singapore past eras ( pre colonial, colonial, join Msia, independence, nation building since 1965 ) till the passing of LKY. This part of Sg history should be mandatory to be taught in our schools in upper primary & secondary schools.
Soneone suggested that SG intends to build monument over $335K 🤔Why? waste taxpayers' money to build this as memorial over whom ? Our belated LKY already affirmed that he wants 38 Oxley Rd demolished after his death. So why suddenly this suggestion pops out 😝🤨😮💨😯 Can our taxpayers' money be used for better purposes?
Actually it was his sis and his father in law's funeral! There was never a stop just a pause! And it didn't merely cause Sporeans grief but also embarrassment. I could be wrong but as far as I remember, lky had always said he didn't want a statue of himself n for oxley Rd to be demolished as it was too expensive to maintain...so in his wisdom, he didnt want to burden the nation. However you are right to say from the house, we can tell the character of our founding fathers
In Singapore we do we property rights? The owner have the right to tear down his own house. Stop interfering his wish. No one can stop me if i decide to tear it down. We are in a democracy country, what is all this ? Now I am started to wonder what are we really a democracy country🤔
There is enough trouble in the world let’s keep our focus straight and don’t let LKY’s name be shamed by the fight between two brothers. Let’s us pray for them and their decision. Let not this house be the cause of contention, but of a blessings to many instead.
It none of our business. They should discuss how to bring down the cost living n help the poor and old folks medical costs. Is the house is more important than our living n survive. ?? Why you so.karvpoh???
While I respect that everyone has an opinion, it's a family matter. It's not our business nor the politicians. I saw LKY before he became Sg PM. The Late LKY didn't want a memorial in his name. Period.
Map out 38 Oxley Rd and allow visitors to use AR to visit it at The Founder’s Memorial. Move the dining rm there too. What a bad idea to name T5 after LKY. He was a person who loathed hero worship. Remember LKY for his love for his countrymen, his intellect and great deeds. Naming T5 as LKY Airport cheapens the great work of our founding prime minister.
I don't think the government should have any say on the private property unless they bought it over first. The inheritors of the property must decide and not outsiders or the government. The inheritors can decide for themselves whether they want to respect their late parents wish or not.
The audacity to make 38 Oxley Road a national issue using national resources to battle possession of the house when LKY did not bequeath it to a single child. The asset should be distributed equally among LKY children and have the land redeveloped. LKY being a controversial figure had the wisdom to prevent his house to be retained as a symbol of his legacy to avoid stirring emotions and unwarranted sentiments. Sadly LKY sins befall his children to suffer his bad karma.
No big deal…Simple solution..build a 3D house , living room and replica at Museum or Memorial …no creative solution…need to hire a consultant ? Look no further 😅
There's already a memorial being built for LKY. It costs something like 330+ million dollars. Why then, is there a further need to preserve 38 Oxley Road? It should have been either one or the other.
Those carry bladders ministers caused the Lee Family feud. Those carry bladders ministers do bad things in the Grey areas of the law. But the final decision has to be LHL. Hope this is a lesson for future PM.
Very good idea to honor the man with airport. And I think it's also the best way to honor the passing's will to demolish the house and let that location continue to progress. As I remember I read it somewhere in one of the book by the late Mr LKY. He will be remembered by those who truly respect and loved him in our heart not the old house. It's just my thoughts. And Mr Loo, I like 99% of your youtube contents. Thank u and keep it going.
Parliamentary supremacy! You voted for a party who wants to keep the house. You also voted for a party that wants to take back your HDB You deserve the government you voted for. This is the UK style of democracy. Parliament is supreme over anyone including LKY cos you the voter , are supreme.
Dont be silly. What is wrong if the party wants to keep the house? When you purchase HDB , you already know its a 100 years lease. Now you start complaining. Who is the unreasonable one??
In my opinion, keeping the unit will incur recurring maintenance costs, and likely not many people will visit. Better respect the family's wish and the land to better use. Mapping out the room in AR is a great idea to preserve it's historical value.
Honestly, why should this even discuss here ? Many people are well aware about the controversy. Seems like everything under the sky need to be reported ? focus, Man. Let discuss best Satay in JB next.
Law conservation law applies to every building in Singapore regardless of whether it’s owned by who or left by whoever’s will. Parliament is supreme and I’m sure LKY would die for this statement too. Here, his children are challenging the institutions that he had spent his entire life building it.
The idea of calling changi airport as LKY airport would be much better in terms of branding values and rebrand the name f rom *changi* which zero value to *LKY* would definitely create values 100x. Look at how F1 night racing promoted singapore island. And 2018, Singapore for the meeting place for Trump , north korea Kim talks, spent $1m for this occasion created 100x of promotion values for this island. The Parliament should start to table this proposal asap.
Seems off topic for this channel. I agree no one can resolve this for them. It’s internal family affairs. I don’t care what they do with their own inheritance land
Dear Mr Loo, I have 3 comments to make: 1) I can appreciate the merits of preserving 38 Oxley Road. It holds valuable memories of the early founding years of Singapore. 2) Having said that, 38 Oxley Road is a private family issue & the 2 brothers should sit down at the table & resolve it amicably, for the sake of their family. 3) Everything is important. But at the end of the day, nothing really matters....
Only you are interested. Why should we be interested? Many are struggling with cost of living not so free to kaypoh about such things unless they are so well to do like you.
LKY 60’s. There are many memorial houses and buildings e.g. Studio Jalan Ampas (Malay Film Production & SB) S'pore, King’s Studio PJ aka Abbey Rd Studio, P Ramlee House George Town, P Ramlee Memorial House KL. Some are well kept and archieved and others look dilapidated.
We should build it up the entire place into memorial building with the dining area encased in glass house inside a modern structure as LKY is widely know world wide. Will be a nice tourist attraction. Other floors wil becomes exhibition of singapore with our fouding father and his team. How they manage riots, communist etc
actually, this is a very petty issue. is 38 oxley road the elixir of youth? gateway to paradise? surrender of SG to Japan? Circuit Breaker of 2021? so how exactly (demolish or keep) does it affect the wellbeing of SG?
38 Oxley is a fenced, private property, so what happens there remains there, thank you very much, though it’s really beyond the control of every stakeholder, private, public or government, for bystanders to whip out their mobile phone cameras, point here and comment there… after some time, no matter how turbulent the water churns, it will finally settle in the lowest realm, calm and well… period
Your suggestion of naming Changi Airport as LKY Airport is a horrible idea. Changi Airport is also remembered and respected for its growth and achievements. LKY is going cringed at your suggestion
Mr Lee once said, this is the place where i bring foreign gov.officials to, when they want to borrow money from singapore n to borrow from richer countries when we needed, it works both ways, the frugality our then PM built Singapore from a third world to first, holds many lessons for our future generations. Its a classroom that can never be replicated. Many countries struggle to find n build wt their founding fathers left behind, we hv one real deal here, demolishing it will forever be gone. Mr Lee Kuan Yew also said, all MPs are public figures non private, whatever u do hv a responsibility and impact to Singapore and Singaporeans, i hope for a wise outcome.
I am a person whom usually don’t agree much with PAP policies. However, I concur with Ex PM LHL on this matter that the house should not be demolished. This is a house of HUGH HISTORICAL VALUE for a young country like Singapore. In fact, It should be kept as a TIME CAPSULE where FUTURE generations could L👀K back and physically sense how this pioneer leader of theirs could live in such frugal conditions and YET, had the VISION to transform Singapore in to a MODERN country which we are all in. That said, this house should also not be made to idolise LKY but give the younger generation A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE.
It is ironic that people want to keep his house, to remember that he was our great pioneer leader, who built up singapore, and yet we doubt the wisdom of his wish to demolish it. It is like respecting him, by not respecting his wish.
Future generations will tell you their time and his time is different. To us, it was frugal. To the future generations, they may tell you it was a luxury to live like that during that time. Don't turn it into a museum. Visitors will look for toilet and you don't want people all over the world to come and pee in 38 Oxley. 1, demolish. 2, Name Airport 5 as LKY Airport and rebuild 38 Oxley as a monument so that everyone around the world can come visit and appreciate what LKY has been through. Free admission. 3, Lee the Lee's family reunited. For all that LKY has done for Singaporeans, the least Singaporean can do is to see his future generations continue to enjoy the fruits of his hardwork. 4, Welcome LHY, wife and his son ShengWu return back to SG. They are talents which SG should retain. United we stand.
For me it is very easy to point out who is right and who is a bad dude. You seem to have a very poor understanding ,and you admit it here, and still unable to see the light. In other words, you claimed to be in the dark, in the light of the whole saga played out in full.
Mr Loo, pls excuse me but, I wish you didn't post this video. There is already enough of bad vibes over this matter. No need to add oil into the fire. There are far more serious matters to ponder over. Whether they demolish or not, the economy is not going to be affected. No companies are going to exit Singapore because of this, unlike what happened in China right now. No body will lose their jobs, their homes, their families over this matter. There is no hurricane storm coming unlike what happened in USA. Life goes on. We have better things to occupy our minds with. Things such as prayer for peace, prayer for her passing. Everything else, just leave them as they are. As I mentioned, enough of bad vibes going on already. It does not help the situation any better. People will be divided and quarrel over this, for what? Don't we have enough things to worry about? Why not use our short life to think of happier moments, cherish our limited time given to us. Pray to God for our well being and safety. Life is also so short, we can never know what is going to happen next when we leave home. Life is unpredictable even if you are living here in Singapore.
what a selfish way to live.. i'm happy Mr. loo made this video to share and I'll be seeking out more of Lee Wei Ling's writings as well as read more of LKY's books
