Deconstruct or not
What should we do about Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house? Should we keep it or destroy it. Well for me I think that we should destroy it because that was what Mr lee himself wanted. We have to respect Mr lee's last wishes as he have done so much for Singapore and I think that this is one of the things I can do to pay my own respect towards him, which is to follow his instructions and wishes. Secondly, we are also not part of his family to choose whether we get to keep it or destroy it as at the end of the day, what his family say is more important than what the public wants. According to the family, they also wanted to destroy as it is Mr lee's wish to destroy it instead of leaving it there for the things to start and rot. Mr lee wanted to destroy his house in order to construct more useful buildings like HDB flats or Office buildings there for economic purposes. I cannot deny that the house can also attract tourist as it has a lot of things related to mr lee himself and we can learn quite a lot of history from his house. The tourism board also can turn the house into a tourist site to attract more visitors and earn money for the country. But we should destroy as it satisfies both conditions of economic purpose and being able to follow mr lees last wish.
