Her husband, Mr Soh Chee Hiang, was seated next to her in a neat grey suit.

To commemorate their wedding anniversary, Dr Lee thanked her husband for supporting everything she did and keeping true to his word made decades ago.

Dr Lee, prior to their wedding, apparently made clear certain ‘T&Cs’, stating that she would:

  • Continue sending money back to her family in Malaysia
  • Never dress up or wear makeup
  • Need personal space
  • Stay home to iron and cook.

Disclaimer: Dr Lee eventually wore makeup, but only on one occasion — their wedding.

While the ‘conditions’ might make some turn heads, Mr Soh accepted her for who she is and continued to do so through the years as a married couple.

The pair now has a daughter and a son, both in their 20s.
