The latest ten volumes of "The Papers of Lee Kuan Yew: Speeches, Interviews and Dialogues" was launched on 27 March 2013. Covering Mr Lee’s tenures as senior minister and minister mentor from 1990 to 2011, this collection is a record of his statements and thoughts over the last two decades. As with the first ten volumes which span 1950 to 1990, the latest volumes were researched and produced through the joint efforts of the National Archives of Singapore, the Office of the Press Secretary to Mr Lee, and Cengage Learning Asia. Members of the public can access the publications at NAS’ Reading Room from 28 March and at the national and public libraries in the coming months.
