31 July 2026

The Government has completed the acquisition process and took possession of the site at 38 Oxley Road (the “Site”) today, to preserve it in keeping with its historic significance and national importance. The acquisition follows from the Site’s gazette as a National Monument on 12 December 2025, and its subsequent gazette for acquisition on 29 January 2026.


2          The National Heritage Board (NHB) will undertake a detailed study of the Site and the options for how it can be developed into a public space in a manner that respects Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s wishes for privacy. In the interim, necessary maintenance works will be carried out as required, and there will be no public access to the Site.
