With the passing of the late Mr Lee Kwan Yew, the issue of demolishing his house is highly debated in the country. Here, I would like to say that I strongly believe that Mr Lee's house should be demolished.
Mr Lee is known and honoured by many for his contributions in making Singapore a First-World country, from a Third-World, within a time span of just ten years. His contributions to Singapore are just countless. However, before Mr Lee passed away, he clearly stated again and again that he wanted the government to demolish his house once he is not present anymore. I believe that we should follow his wish to demolish his house if we truly honour him. If his house is retained because the people want to look at how this respectable man had lived his life and learn more about him, then I certainly do not think that is acceptable.
If one truly honour and respect Mr Lee, would they not follow what he wished and hoped for - to demolish his house?
Several books are published about Mr Lee and we can always learn more about this humble man through them. Videos about Mr Lee's life and contributions to Singapore are also available online. There are many sources of information and Mr Lee's house does not need to be there for others to learn about how he was like.
Thus, in my opinion, I feel that Mr Lee's house should be demolish.
