Gift of the late Mdm Koh Ai Ai
These names plates were displayed at Koh Ai Ai's desk in the Far Eastern Freight Conference office. Koh worked as a secretary in the Far Eastern Freight Conference from 1955 to 1975. During her time there, she married and adopted her husband's surname. The right for a married woman to retain her own name was provided in the Women's Charter of 1961, before which married women would typically adopt their husbands' name.
