TO honour their father, the sons of the late Lee Kuan Yew have each agreed to donate half the value of 38 Oxley Road - Mr Lee's home - to various charities.

In a joint statement on Friday, Mr Lee's three children - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Lee Wei Ling, and Lee Hsien Yang - also said that they "hope the government will allow the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew's wish for the demolition of the house to be honoured and that all Singaporeans will support their cause".
