Lee Wei Ling, the daughter of Singapore’s first prime minister, died at home at the age of 69, four years after being diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare and degenerative brain disease. The younger Lee brother on Wednesday night wrote: “Lee Kuan Yew had directed each of his three children to ensure that their parents’ wish for demolition be fulfilled. He had also appealed directly to the people of Singapore.He also appealed to the media to respect his sister’s wishes and not come to the wake or private funeral, saying she had wanted a “simple private send-off”.
Lee Hsien Loong has denied his younger siblings’ claim that he hoped to keep the bungalow intact for political capital in light of the reverence with which most Singaporeans still view Lee Kuan Yew. In an emotional message on social media earlier on Wednesday, Lee Hsien Loong acknowledged the rift that had developed between the siblings. He recalled Lee Kuan Yew telling him when he was 13 to take care of his mother and younger siblings if anything were to happen to the senior Lee.
