This article is mainly talking about the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew's decision to demolish his house and not open it to the public. The writer thinks that it is right for Mr Lee to think so and we should respect his choice of demolishing it.
Firstly, one of the points the writer brought up was that Mr Lee was a frugal person and would not want to waste money on preserving his house. I disagree with this because his house is of great historical value and should be preserved for future, Mr Lee should be remembered for generations to come as he has contributed to Singapore greatly and can inspire other Singaporeans to love their country too. Besides, I am sure many Singaporeans are willing to help raise funds to preserve the area and transform it into a museum as it is a very important place. The historical value of the house simply cannot be bought with money.
Secondly, during the period of national mourning, many Singaporeans showed how much they honored and respected Mr Lee, thus we should respect his decision and support him. I agree to this point because I personally really respect Mr Lee and I think he must definitely have thought about this decision thoroughly before drafting it on his will, thus we should agree to it.
