This clipboard was used by Lee Kuan Yew during his time as Prime Minister of Singapore, likely in the early 1960s to 1970s. It likely held his daily notes, drafts, and other papers for action by him or his secretaries. It may also have served as a backing to read, amend and sign documents, and may have been placed inside his red box for shuttling documents to and from his office when necessary.
