Edward Lee Hee Seng DUBC PJG (11 April 1927 – 4 February 2012) was a former Singaporean banker, and chairman of the Public Service Commission from 1988 to 1998.

[2][6] On 2 April 1971, Lee was appointed as chairman of the Housing and Development Board (HDB), after the position was vacant since August 1970 following the resignation of Pang Tee Pow.

[16][17] In February 1972, Lee and Barker accompanied Queen Elizabeth II to tour a housing estate in Toa Payoh.

[24] Lee elaborated in his review: The standard of public housing provided by the Housing and Development Board is not only among the highest in Asian countries, but is also comparable to European and American standards.Owing to boom conditions the values of properties in the Republic have risen substantially in the past three years.

The selling prices of housing developed by private enterprise are no longer related to income and are beyond the reach of many middle-income earners who now look to the Board to provide them with homes.

[37] In May 1978, as part of modernising the bank using technology, Lee was appointed chairman of Associated Data Processing, a private limited company with a paid-up capital of S$1 million.

[40][41][42][43] Lee explained further: Apart from simplifying branch accounting and record-keeping functions, the computer systems will provide faster counter services for customers.

[51][52] Under his leadership, OUB established wholly-owned subsidiaries in Toronto and Sydney,[53][54][55][56] restructured its operations,[57][58][59] and acquired the International Bank of Singapore.

[68][69][70][71] Throughout his term, he was also appointed chairman to various newly commissions, dealing with education, police and civil defence.

[87] Lee was the only representative from OUB as part of a four-man team to supervise the merger, and he was appointed as senior deputy chairman of UOB.

[95] His eldest daughter, Jennifer Lee Gek Choo, was a President's Scholar and served as chief operating officer of the Singapore General Hospital from 1988 to 1991.
