Lee Kuan Yew's former residence is left or demolished. This decision really takes care of the emotions and positions of all parties sensitively, but the premise must be to follow the law and rules and regulations.On the issue of the former residence, Li Guangyao's remains, and discussed that retaining the former residence sounded a bit intuitive, but this is the best way to commemorate him.
After Li Weiling, the daughter of Jianguo Prime Minister Li Guangyao, after his death on October 9, his brother Li Xianyang announced that he had applied for demolition of No. 38 Ou Sili Road.Li Guangyao's former residence was left or demolished, and finally came to the time of decision.On October 24, the State Administration of Cultural Relics stated that it will start studying whether there is a preserved value of Opti Road No. 38 to provide a reference for subsequent decisions.
There are two main public records about Li Guangyao's thoughts on his former residence.In the hardships of Singapore, which he published in 2011, he expressed his idea of demolishing the former residence after his death. The reason was that he did not want his private space to be trampled by foreigners, and re -developing land can release more land value.After Li Guangyao's death in March 2015, the provisions of the former residence were disclosed by their children.He once again expressed his willingness to demolish the former residence, but also said that if he could not demolish his former residence due to legal provisions, he hoped that the former residence would never be open to people other than family members.
Unfortunately, the disposal of the former residence has actually become the fuse of the hand and foot on the wall.The state -owned government -funded Li Xianlong and his younger siblings were arguing with the content of the will. The core issue involved was the final and most complete idea of Li Guangyao's final and complete treatment of the former residence during his lifetime, including whether he had considered other options other than the former residence.
If this matter is complicated, it is really complicated.Li Guangyao's former residence is not only a private house of the Li family, but also witnessed many critical moments in the early days of the founding of Singapore. It has special historical significance and involves public interests.Li Zizheng has the dual identity of the eldest son of Li Guangyao and the cabinet, and the considerations between the two identities are also different.In addition, in the traditional Chinese concept, there is a saying that "the dead are big". People often give the deceased the greatest respect of the deceased and their willingness. For children, they want to fulfill their father's wishes. This filial piety can be the same.These different interests, positions, and principles are mixed together, making Li Guangyao's former residence a complex and multi -faceted, easy to provoke emotions, and even have a little sadness.
Because of this, we must look at the problem objectively and rationally.The first consideration should be that Li Guangyao's former residence has finished the formal procedure, and it should be treated according to the open and transparent legal provisions instead of any person.Li Guangyao's former residence has very important architectural value and historical significance. This is a preliminary conclusion obtained in the report of the Minister of Minister in 2018.This means that the former residence is at least in line with the conditions for further research and discussing the reserved conditions, so we should take the priority of public interests, such as treating other historical buildings worthy of reserved, and take the formal process fairly and equally.
According to the preservation of the monuments, the government has sufficient legal basis to list the designated buildings as national cultural relics.Everyone is equal in front of the law. Any Singapore citizen, no matter how powerful the background and willingness, must follow the law, and no individual or family interests can be above the national interests.The government's primary consideration is national interests. This includes the most in line with public interest on this incident. It also includes maintaining the national system and ensuring that the entire process and all participants follow relevant rules and regulations.
If the homeowner demolish No. 38 Ou Sili Road, the release of the signal may not only be as simple as "following Li Guangyao's last wish".The famous saying in the animal estate "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than other animals" will be echoed in people's hearts.
Li Guangyao and the People's Action Party created by other founding Gui Xun showed integrity with white pants and white pants, and enjoyed the world with the concept of selflessly governing the country.If the future generations rely on Lee Kuan Yew's will, an emperor's life cannot ignore the relevant legal provisions and legitimate procedures, and remove the buildings that meet the protection conditions without authorization, then it will completely shake the Chinese people's confidence in the Singapore system, and it will violate the founding of the country.The idea of governing the country.The former residence is demolished in the name of Lee Kuan Yew, and the rule of law represented by him will be destroyed.
A reason for the retention of the retaining camp was worried that Li Guangyao's former residence would be used by the DAP, and he made great personal worship and picking up political capital.However, the results of the 2011 national elections may have already provided answers.At that time, Li Guangyao, who was then the cabinet, warned voters that the cabinet was tight in election.Later results proved that the people did not follow blindly, and they could also examine this remark with critical thinking.Lee Kuan Yew's world fashion cannot be left and right to say one by one. He believes that if he is a heart -minded person in a hundred years, he can use his former residence to create God's power. I am afraid that he seriously underestimates the education level and independent thinking ability of the Chinese people.
Take a step back, whether to save the former residence and whether to use Lee Kuan Yew to engage in personal worship is not directly associated: preservation of the former residence may not lead to the emergence of personal worship; on the contrary, even if you dismantle 38 Opti Road, those who are interested can still pass other people through other people.The way, squeeze political interests in the name of Lee Kuan Yew.Whether a building is worth retaining, some expert team identification, as well as objective standards such as construction years, etc., with personal worship discussing the sound of retaining the former residence, it is suspicious.
On the issue of leaving the former residence, we need to understand Li Guangyao's wishes during his lifetime.This is the most basic respect for the founding Prime Minister, and in order to find out a solution that can take care of Lee Guangyao's wishes and national interests as much as possible in decision -making.What's more, he is not dedicated to insist on demolishing the former residence: he expressed his willingness to consider the option to retain his former residence in the second half of the disclosure of the will.Li Guangyao also arranged relevant personnel to come to the door to discuss the interior decoration of the room.
Li Guangyao's former residence is left or demolished. This decision really takes care of the emotions and positions of all parties sensitively, but the premise must be to follow the law and rules and regulations.Through the case of former Minister of Transport Yi Huaren, Singapore once again showed everyone's determination to maintain a clean system and credibility. This is one of Lei Guangyao's most valuable political heritage.On the issue of the former residence, Li Guangyao's remains, and discussed that retaining the former residence sounded a bit intuitive, but this is the best way to commemorate him.
