The dispute revolves around the family home at 38, Oxley Road.

“Lee Kuan Yew read every page, initialed on each page including below the demolition clause on both copies of the will,” Dr Lee insisted. “Some 2 weeks later, Lee Kuan Yew reread his will. He then drafted and executed a codicil to the will which referenced the will,” she added.

Dr Lee ended her post with this statement:
