DEMOLISH OR KEEP?

Many people have the dilemma of whether to keep Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house or not. To some, they feel that respecting the last wishes of their nations fore father is better and that the should demolish the house. However, to the tourism board, it might seem that Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house might bring economy to the country by keeping it as a heritage sight for tourist to visit. Whereas historians will keep it for heritage purposes and use it as a history source for Singapore.

In my opinion, I feel that demolishing it is the best option. Although keeping it has many benefits, I find disrespecting Mr Lee's last wishes is unacceptable as following his wishes is the last form of respect one could give to our late fore father. I also find that keeping it to earn money is extremely disrespectful as Mr Lee would not want people coming into his house and not follow his last wishes before he left.

In conclusion, I feel that we should demolish Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house and respect his last wishes.
