Bruce Lee home may be saved

A MANSION that once belonged to Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee in Hong Kong may be preserved as a museum, giving belated recognition to one of the city’s most famous sons, a newspaper reported yesterday.

Billionaire philanthropist tycoon Yu Panglin had put Lee’s two-storey, 5,699-square-foot town house in an upscale leafy Kowloon suburb up for sale but later changed his mind, according to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post.

“I will consider the views of the community and different parties. I may consider donating the property if the majority thinks we should preserve it,” Yu said in the report, adding that he had turned down an offer of HK$105 million (€9m) for the property.
