A heritage site vs a monument



IF LHY had offered to build a memorial garden on 38 Oxley Road, THEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR HIM TO OBJECT TO LHL declaring 38 Oxley Road a heritage site. Building a memorial garden is as good as making 38 Oxley Road a heritage site.

Is it much ado about nothing? Is it time for LHY to withdraw, talk in private and reconcile differences?

A historical or heritage site is the land on which somethin...g/building of historical importance once stood. The building may be demolished (completely or partially) but the land is commemorated as heritage site.

The late Mr Lee Kuan Yew bequeathed 38 Oxley Road to son Lee Hsien Loong even though he knew full well way back in 2011 that "Loong as PM" might declare 38 Oxley Road as a heritage site.

Mr Lee had full trust and confidence in his son Lee Hsien Loong as PM to do what is best and right in the national interest of the country concerning 38 Oxley Road.
