Mr Lee said he was glad to have kept in touch with Puan Noor Aishah over the years, with one particular memory taking place in 2013 when she attended Mr Lee’s- who was then Singapore perfect minister- National Day Rally in which he announced the naming of a new dome after her husband.
In 2017, Mr Lee launched a book about Puan Noor Aishah’s career and in 2019, she visited the Istana for the property’s 150th anniversary despite feeling drowsy.
” We reminisced about the ancient days when I was a child, about the same time as the three of you, and we would all enjoy happily together on the Istana basis,” Mr Lee wrote to her three kids.
” Puan Noor Aishah will be greatly missed. Ho Ching and I wish you and your family satisfaction in this time of pain,” he said.
