Photo depicts Lee Kuan Yew as a child, which means 70 years has definitely elapsed since it was taken (between 1923 and a rough estimate of 1938; 1 to 15 years old), and has entered the public domain. Only photos taken after 10 April 1987 would be protected under the "first published" rule, which this photo is not entitled to.
