Info
Number 38, Oxley Road was the residence of Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew from the 1940s until his death in 2015. The house was built in the late 19th century and is an eight-bedroom two-story bungalow located near Orchard Road. The first meeting of the People's Action Party (PAP) occurred in the basement.In 2017 it became central to a dispute in Singapore between Lee's children – the prime minister Lee Hsien Loong and his two siblings – over its use and demolition. Lee Kuan Yew had originally willed the house to Lee Hsien Loong, who later sold it to his brother Lee Hsien Yang in 2015 at market price, on the condition that both of them would donate half of the value to charity.
