Portraits of Presidents
I think there is an urgent need for official portraits/photos of Ong Teng Cheong, Wee Kim Wee, and S.R. Nathan. The articles on Mr. Ong and Mr. Wee doesn't even have the Presidents' photos. I tried searching on Commons but to no avail too. Photos are important as they will provide a better read generally. Bonchygeez (talk) 17:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It will be nigh impossible to obtain free photographs of Wee Kim Wee and Ong Teng Cheong, as they have passed away. For this reason, it may be possible to justify the use of small, low-resolution official photographs from the Istana website under the non-free content criteria. Have a look at the image description pages of the portraits of Yusof bin Ishak, Benjamin Sheares and Devan Nair. As S.R. Nathan is alive and well, I don't think any use of his official portrait can be justified as fair use. In any case, there are existing free photographs of him available in the Commons, one of which is already in use in this article. &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 18:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
