Buddha
2500 to 3000 years ago - before he passed into PariNirvana (passed
away) - told his disciples not to use his image to build monument.
His disciples asked, if without your image as monument as Heritage, how do future Buddhists disciples remember your Teachings and learn from you discourse and respect the Buddha?
Buddha say "use Dharma Wheel" （法轮）for reverence.
Now only a handful of Arahats （罗汉）and Bodhisattvas (菩萨）who have attained Nirvana （涅槃）understand what Buddha means. Because "Dharma Wheel" （法轮) is Nirvana （涅槃). Only those who have attained Nirvana （涅槃）know it.
The rest of His disciples unable to understand - and thus will be unable to learn the True Teachings of Buddha.
When Buddha finally passed away and enter into PariNirvana ---- Arahats （罗汉）and Bodhisattvas (菩萨）decided that Buddha's Teachings will be lost if only "use Dharma Wheel" （法轮）for reverence - because many future Buddhists disciples will not be able to understand.
Thus they decide on the below (by defying Buddha's wish not to use his image as monument or for praying):-
（1）盛法 - 用法轮 (Dharma rich-age - use Dharma Wheel)
（2）相法 - 用经书 (Dharma mid-age - use Sutra, holy books)
（3）末法 - 用佛相 (Dharma ending-age - use Buddha image or monument)
Now we are ar Dharma ending-age - where many people cannot gain Enlightenment through their own efforts - and thus requre Buddha image for reverence - in order to be inspired to learn and practise Buddhism.
In the same vein, for Mr Lee Kuan Yew - shouldn't we keep Oxley House with the same justification as Buddha's experience - by defying Buddha's wish - so that many future descendants Buddhists disciples can benefit from Buddhism Teachings --- by defying Mr Lee Kuan Yew's wish to demolish Oxley House - but to preserve Oxley House.

Pierre Leo - The Whole Cabinet understand the significance of preserving Oxley House.
Only Mr Lee HY and Ms LeeWL don't know - because they lack Deeper Wisdom and Big Heart.
