Lee Kuan Yew's Christian name is Lee Kuan Yew?
Harry Lee Kwanyo.

When I was born, my family invited a friend who knows naming very well to draw me an auspicious name. He suggested that we should be lenient. This is a dialect pronunciation, and Chinese writing is "glorious". However, out of admiration for the British, my grandfather gave me an extra foreign name Harry, so my full name became HarryLeeKuanYew. My brother Jin Yao and Tian Yao also took their Christian names respectively. The former is Dennis and the latter is Freddie. At that time, non-Christians in China rarely took their Christian names. Later, when I went to school, I always felt that I was a strange child and actually took a foreign name like Harry. Therefore, when my younger brother Xiangyao 1933 was born, I persuaded my parents not to give him a Christian name, because we are not Christians after all. They are willing to accept my opinion.
