MESSAGE FROM
WEE KIM WEE
CENTRE DIRECTOR
The Wee Kim Wee Centre of SMU is dedicated to promoting cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary dialogue within the SMU community and with the public about the major issues and challenges that attend to contemporary life.

Wee Kim Wee Room
Welcome to the Wee Kim Wee Room at the Singapore Management University. This room was launched alongside the Wee Kim Wee Heritage Fund on November 4, 2022. SMU was entrusted with Dr. Wee and Mrs. Wee’s treasured belongings as a reflection of Dr. Wee’s commitment to education.
Through this exhibition, the public is encouraged to get to know Dr. Wee and Mrs. Wee: two ordinary individuals who made an extraordinary impact in Singapore’s history, and reminisce on this period of the nation’s past while reflecting on its impacts on the present.
