A bitter feud between the children of Singapore's late founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, has reignited over the future of their family home. While former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong favors preservation, his siblings Lee Hsien Yang and the late Lee Wei Ling cite their father's will calling for demolition.

His children’s disagreement over the house blew into the open in 2017, dividing the public as their feud generated headlines in international news. The younger siblings accused their brother in 2017 of trying to exploit Lee Kuan Yew’s legacy for political gain, though the issue simmered down as Lee Wei Ling was still living on the property.
Lee Hsien Yang, who has been living in self-exile since 2022, added he would apply to authorities to have the bungalow demolished and build a smaller residence. It said in a 2018 report that the property had “architectural, heritage and historical significance”.
