SOME furniture and personal items belonging to the late Lee Kuan Yew have been donated to the National Heritage Board (NHB). The Deed of Gift was signed between the executors and trustees of Mr Lee's estate - daughter Lee Wei Ling and son Lee Hsien Yang - with NHB on June 8.
A number of items owned by Mr Lee and kept in his house at 38 Oxley Road were given to the NHB "for the people of Singapore", a statement from the executors and trustees read. These included the furniture in the dining room; the study room work area desks, including the desk he worked on for many years; and clothing worn on several historic occasions.
