The youngest son of Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew is seeking permission from authorities to demolish his late father’s home in the latest escalation of a bitter feud over the fate of the country’s most high-profile property.

In a Facebook postBloomberg Terminal Tuesday, Lee Hsien Yang said he is applying to demolish the house at 38 Oxley Road and thereafter build a small private residence, to be held within the family, to honor his parents’ last wishes.
