The house at 38 Oxley Road has been a subject of public interest since the elder Lee's death on Mar 23, 2015. Mr Lee denied their allegations. He had recused himself from all government matters relating to the house since April 2015, to avoid any conflict of interest. Mr Teo said Mr Lee had asked him to oversee the matter, and he agreed as he understood and respected the prime minister’s views.

“And it was important also because his approach to the issue was being called into question his personal integrity as well.”After he took office, one of Mr Lee’s first major policy decisions was the creation of the integrated resorts and introduction of casinos here. “On one hand, the economic benefits were obvious and significant, but the social problems were equally significant and we could not just simply brush them aside,” explained Mr Khaw, who is currently chairman of SPH Media Trust.
“In any discussion, he tried not to preempt the outcome. He let every minister, every member of the Cabinet voice their view very freely, very openly, without passing any judgment. Mr Lee got his team to carefully study existing regimes in places like Las Vegas and Macau. When they were not happy with the standards imposed, they set out to develop a uniquely Singapore regime, said Mr Khaw.

Prime Minister and People's Action Party secretary-general Lee Hsien Loong arrives at the PAP awards and convention on Nov 5, 2023. “All of us were involved, because he wanted to get to the bottom of the story,” said Mr Khaw, who was the PAP chairman then.“As a result of that, I believe the party emerged stronger. We are now stronger than pre-2011 and more fit for purpose for a new social media era of election campaigns,” he said.
