The youngest child of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said on Tuesday he would apply to demolish the statesman's home in line with his wishes, following the death of Lee's daughter last week.

Lee Hsien Yang and sister Lee Wei Ling had accused their older brother, then PM Lee Hsien Loong, of attempting to keep the home for political capital.

The home at 38 Oxley Road has been the subject of a bitter family dispute between former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his two siblings.

The house was Mr Lee Kuan Yew's home from the mid-1940s until his death in 2015, and was also the home of his daughter, Dr Lee Wei Ling, who died last week.
