Graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore in 1956, Le taught art at Chung Hua High School in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan from 1961 until the end of his life. He held numerous solo shows across Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Penang, and Austria. He received Minor Award in the "Malaysian Landscape" competition organised by National Art Gallery Malaysia (1972), and the Highest Award for Best Work at the Beijing International Ink and Wash Painting Exhibition (1988). In 1986, Le exhibited at the “Modern Asian Ink & Color Paintings Exhibition - 10th Asian Games Arts Festival” in Korea, together with famous artists such as Yang Shen-Sum, Zao Wou-Ki, Chen Wen Hsi, and Chung Chen Sun. His masterpiece - "Ideal Landscape," is housed at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
