What does “Hated the name Harry and got it removed” meant then? Sounds like the poster got the name removed.
Also it was his grandfather that gave him the name “Harry”, not his parents.
- Macha 3y agoThere's no pronoun for that sentence, so it's left undefined who it's talking about. It doesn't mean the poster. It also doesn't really matter, if one former Singaporean politician dropped their "first name" then it's being used as an example that others may too.
- dkdbejwi383 3y agoIt means that LKY himself stopped using the name Harry, for whatever reason. His (LKY) Wikipedia article states when, but not why - it cites his autobiography so that may be a useful source if you are interested to learn more.
