In her fourth Facebook post on the issue in five days, Indranee pointed out a contradiction in Lee Hsien Yang's statements regarding when he and his sister Wei Ling wanted the house to be demolished.

She highlighted that according to DPM Teo Chee Hean, who heads the Ministerial Committee, said he set it up in response to Hsien Yang and WEi Ling pushing the government to commit itself to immediately demolishing the house.

And as we know, Hsien Yang in his latest statement questioned Indranee's question to him about this, saying he had never asked for immediate demolition, only for the assurance of demolition upon Wei Ling's departure from the house.

Indranee's question, therefore, is this: Why is the government being asked to decide on the fate of the 38 Oxley Road house now and what is the urgency?

This was what she wrote:

(a) In his Statement on 17 June 2017 DPM Teo Cheo Hean explained that one of the reasons why the ministerial committee was established was because:

"...soon after Mr Lee's passing, the Executors of Mr Lee Kuan Yew's will (Mr Lee Hsien Yang and Dr Lee Wei Ling) themselves wanted the government to commit itself immediately to demolishing the house, even though Dr Lee Wei Ling might continue to live in the House for many more years."

(b) In my FB post yesterday the question I put was:

"So the real question is why Mr Lee Hsien Yang is asking for an immediate commitment on demolition now?"

(c) In his FB post today, Mr Lee Hsien Yang says:

"We have never asked the Government to allow us to demolish the house now, only after Wei Ling's departure."

I thank Mr Lee Hsien Yang for his confirmation that he has indeed put this question to the government.

Now it is back to Lee Hsien Yang who has to clarify.
