WHY LEE KUAN YEW DECIDED NOT TO USE HARRY AS HIS NAME

08/08/2026 08:54 am MYT

"He was given the name 'Harry' at birth but he soon grew to feel that that did not fit him and the fact that he was a son of Singapore. When Papa was 10, his youngest brother Suan Yew was born. Papa who was only 10, persuaded his father and mother that it was not a good thing to give Suan Yew a western name. And so at 10 years old, he had prevailed in the household. Decades later, when Papa entered politics, he found the name Harry, to be a political liability. And many think it was for politics that he found it but in truth for two decades before that he had felt this was not right for him" - Lee Hsien Yang, the second son of Lee Kuan Yew.
