The two-story bungalow, a local term for the equivalent of a mansion, is on sale for S$16.8 million (US$12.4 million), according to a listing on the real estate portal PropertyGuru.

Public records show Lee Hsien Yang, brother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and his wife as joint owners. The couple currently live in a flat in the prestigious Nassim Road neighbourhood.

Sitting on a land size of 9,888 square feet (920 square metres), the home has six bedrooms, two living rooms, a walk-in wine cellar, a helper’s room, an infinity pool and a koi pond. Four cars can be parked inside the freehold compound. The listing described it as a “resort-style modern bungalow”.

It’s located on Caldecott Hill, an upscale area. Lee Hsien Yang declined to comment when asked why he is selling the home.

Lee Hsien Yang was in the media spotlight following a siblings’ quarrel over their father’s will and famous Oxley Road house. He and his older sister in 2017 had accused their brother, the prime minister, of manoeuvring to undermine their father’s instructions, citing the existence of a ministerial committee exploring options for the property.

Lee Hsien Loong rejected the allegations. Their father was Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding prime minister.
