    THE Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) on Tuesday named its largest lecture theatre after pioneering Singaporean architect Albert Hong.

    SUTD said the naming honours Mr Hong's S$30 million donation to the university, pledged in 2013 as part of SUTD's fundraising campaign to commemorate Singapore's late founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's 90th birthday that year.
