Addy Lee, former celeb hairstylist, gives up Singapore PR status
The Straits Times
|August 30, 2025
Former celebrity hairstylist Addy Lee has given up his permanent resident (PR) status in Singapore, with the revelation coming after he thanked and bid farewell to the country on Facebook on Aug 27.
In a telephone interview with Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao on Aug 28, the 54-year-old Malaysian confirmed that he had also withdrawn his Central Provident Fund (CPF) monies last week.
Lee is from Penang and obtained his PR status when he was 23. The founder of the Monsoon hair salon chain, who now divides his time between Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, wrestled with the decision for months.
