SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's heritage board will assess if founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's home should be preserved as a national monument, the culture ministry said on Thursday.
The late statesman's youngest child Lee Hsien Yang applied on Oct. 21 to demolish the single-storey bungalow on Oxley Road in central Singapore in line with his father's wishes.
