Exactly... so many places of memories and heritage have been demolished in the name of "development", what makes this house so special that it must be discussed in parliament? :D

if they can keep the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall cos 孫中山 used that place for some revolution meeting in Nanyang.

I believe the Oxley house has the same meaning in the 50s when important meetings were held there for the independence of Singapore.

If this oxley house got so much to keep, then when LKY was so powerful and alive, he would make sure it is casted in concrete before he goes. Now he have to stand up as he was quoted if someone wish to demolish it. 😆

Maybe he knows, understands, or hinted?... some lines he cannot cross. 

Maybe in his future memoirs he can speak more freely. 

Like ah goh [laugh]

I wonder he dare say he didn't benefit a single cent from the father and brother when there were PM.

I don't think LHY ever claimed he didn't benefit... Me see this as just a smear campaign by the Gov to paint him as ungrateful... But most know who the real ungrateful and dishonourable son is..

No difference from daily and office politics. First you get rid of your enemy. Then you need to turn inwards to fight among yourselves. Greed and jealousy will split them. They aren't there to work for the people but all about their own self interest.

To be fair... just like office. 

I belive most do start with real Good intentions... even butchers Mao and Stalin belive themselves... but once power got in, character change lor... power corrupts.

Many would know of good colleagues who once promoted,  changed liao 🤦‍♂️

Sone even change once they started chasing promotion.
