These new volumes cover Lee Kuan Yew's tenures as senior minister and minister mentor, starting with Lee's interview with Nippon Hoso Kyokai (NHK) on 18 December 1990 and ending with his speech at NTUC's 50th anniversary dinner on 13 May 2011, chronicling Lee's political statements and thoughts as the nation went through significant changes and crises, such as the Asian financial crisis of 1997, the SARS outbreak of 2003, and the intense fight against terrorism. Lee stepped down as minister mentor on 21 May 2011.
Also included in the new ten-volume set is a cumulative index volume that has been compiled to gather all the index entries included in volumes 1 to 19 that span a period of six decades (1950-2011). This will help readers and scholars to easily and quickly locate terms and topics they are interested in across the volumes.
