National Heritage Board to study if 38 Oxley Road is worthy of preservation

The Urban Redevelopment Authority has put on hold a review of Lee Hsien Yang's application to demolish the property at 38 Oxley Road. Mr Lee is the sole legal owner of the house that was once home to his father, founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. The URA is deferring its evaluation, following a decision by the National Heritage Board to assess the site's preservation potential by studying its national, historical and architectural significance.
