March 23 next year is the 10th anniversary of the death of the founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.Singapore will also celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year.It now appears that the national election is likely to be held until next year.
In this section of bone eyes, Lee Kuan Yew's former residence- Opti Road 38 38The problem of removing the number , with the last resident of the former residence, daughter of Lee Guangyao Yew YewaDr. Li Weiling died of illness and returned to the public vision again.This problem that was originally determined by the "future government" has become a problem that the government must face today.
In the past years when the disputed residences have been settled, the situation has not changed on the surface, and the parties of the dispute still maintain their original position and attitude.Although the time cannot be in line with the differences, it can dilute the strong emotions.At the beginning of the dispute, the Chinese people have not completely came out of the sadness and discomfort of the founding of the founding of the founding of the country. The discussion on the former residence seems more excited and emotional, and intertwined with the emotions of Li Guangyao.Today, after years of precipitation, we may be able to consider this problem more calmly and rationally.
I ask the people around me to stay in the former residence, and the first reaction I get is often: should respect Li Guangyao's last wish.But when I asked them if they wanted to visit the former residence, most people admitted that they were curious about this house carried the history of the founding of Singapore.If they want to dismantle their former residences, they want to look at the house before demolition.
The ministerial committee of the former residence disposal options, in the 2018 work report, attached a research report on the history, culture and building value of the State Administration of Cultural Relics.It is mentioned that No. 38 Ou Sili Road is not only Li Guangyao's private house, but also the headquarters of the People's Action Party. He witnessed the struggle made by the 1955 Legislative Council elections and people from all levels of society to fight for Singapore's future.It wrote that Wu Qingrui, Du Jincai, and Razelinnan "people who gathered at No. 38 Ouzi Road basement became a key role in politics at that time and changed the destiny of the country."
From the perspective of architectural perspective, it has 120 -year -old Osi Road 38, and it also integrates the elements of the British Indian bungalow and the Malaysian traditional tall house.Of the more than 200 old bungalows in Singapore, only about 16 flat houses belong to the same style and era.
The reason why the former residence is going to leave the problem makes many people feel that the flowers are looking at flowers because it involves the seven versions of Li Guangyao's will and the relationship between the intricate claims behind it.This makes it difficult for the public to get rid of the personal emotions of Lee Kuan Yao during the discussion, and even mistakenly believe that this is the Li family, not state affairs.However, if Li Guangyao's personal will and from the perspective of historical and cultural heritage value, is there still enough reasons to support the demolition of his former residence?
When some people respect Li Guangyao's legacy as the banner, and try to forcibly promote some kind of decision, we must be alert to potential risks: Will we trample on Li Guangyao for a "big house" for a "small house", instead."That is, Singapore, which uses integrity and integrity as the foundation of the country, respects the rule of law, and ensure that personal interests never overrive in national interests.
In order to ensure that any options are not excluded or closed at this stage, the Cultural Relics Bureau announced on Thursday (October 24) that it will be worthy of whether the former residence is worth retaining and proposal to the culture, community and youth ministers decide whether to issue a preservation order to issue a preservation orderEssenceThis will inevitably attract the accusations of the government's "delay decision -making", but from another perspective, in addition to achieving Lee Kuan Yew's last as soon as possible, what are the reasons?
The stay of the former residence is not only related to contemporary people, but also has a profound impact on the generations of Singaporeans for generations.Careful considering this subject in time and space can allow experts to conduct more comprehensive and in -depth research on the former residence, and submit more thorough solutions, and also allow the government to have time to carefully listen to the opinions and make decisions on different options.As the Minister of Qing Dynasty, Tang Zhenhui, said that time pushing can bring the later opinion, which helps us to understand this subject better in the correct background.Regardless of or dismantling, the "small house" is properly set up, and the foundation of the "big house" can be more stable.
