SINGAPORE: At the heart of the dispute between the children of the late founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew is the house at 38, Oxley Road where they grew up.

The pre-war bungalow sits on a plot of about 12,000 sq ft on the street named after Dr Thomas Oxley, a British medical doctor who held the post of senior surgeon for the Straits Settlements in 1844.
