Former Singapore premier Lee Kuan Yew on ‘mechanical ventilation’ in intensive care PUBLISHED : Thursday, 26 February, 2015, 11:53am UPDATED : Thursday, 26 February, 2015, 7:25pm Reuters in Singapore  Lee Kuan Yew, one of the towering figures of Asian politics, has been in hospital since February 5. Photo: EPA Singapore’s first prime minister and the man widely credited with the city-state’s economic success, Lee Kuan Yew, is on “mechanical ventilation” in an intensive care unit in hospital, the prime minister’s office has announced as rumours swirled of the elder statesman’s demise. Lee, who turned 91 last September, was admitted to hospital on February 5 with severe pneumonia. “He remains sedated and on mechanical ventilation. His doctors have restarted him on antibiotics, and are continuing to monitor him closely,” the government statement said. Although Lee has receded from the public and political scene, his health is watched closely as he is still seen as an influential figure for the government of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, his oldest son. Lee is also one of the towering figures of Asian politics. Today’s statement came after rumours spread on social media on Wednesday night that he may have died. The government did not issue any statement overnight, but the state-owned ChannelNewsAsia and the pro-government Straits Times newspaper published stories that the rumours were untrue. Even Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin posted on his Facebook about the rumours late on Wednesday. “Do continue to pray for his recovery,” he said. Lee, a Cambridge-educated lawyer, is widely credited with building Singapore into one of the world’s wealthiest nations on a per capita basis with a strong, pervasive role for the state and little patience for dissent. He co-founded the People’s Action Party, which has ruled Singapore since 1959 and led the newly born country when it was separated from Malaysia in 1965. In a book published in 2013, Lee said he felt weaker by the day and that he wanted a quick death. Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
