Although many classmates said that we should not demolish Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house as it would be a tourist attraction which could contribute to Singapore's economy, I strongly oppose against this idea as I think it is extremely disrespectful to late Mr Lee Kuan Yew's wish before passing away. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, as the founding father of Singapore, had done a lot for Singapore and contributed enormously to Singapore's good foundation as a country. He had selflessly helped Singapore to grow as a country and had done many good deeds for us. He was one who persevered through all the odds, taking up many challenges that he faced without having backing away. This gives us many reasons to give our utmost respect to him. As he had already clearly stated that it was his wish to demolish his house after his death, I think that we should respect his opinion and not go against his wish as he may have many private reasons for his choice. Although Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house could be upgraded into a museum and could serve as a place with great historical value, I feel that it is not right to go against his honors but to instead, respect his death wish.
Hence, I support demolishing Mr Lee Kuan Yew's house.
