Unfortunately, Lee Kuan Yew Discharged From Singapore’s Hospital After Mini-Stroke

Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first prime minister, was discharged after being hospitalized two days ago for a condition linked to a prolonged irregular heartbeat.

Lee, 89, was sent to the Singapore General Hospital after the suspected transient ischemic attack, a condition with stroke-like symptoms that clear within a day, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.

“The doctors are following up with him to optimize his anti-coagulation therapy, in order to minimize the risk of further transient ischemic attacks,” the PMO said in a statement today.

Under Lee’s 31 years as Singapore’s first elected prime minister, the nation was transformed from a colonial backwater into Southeast Asia’s only advanced economy. He stepped down in 1990, handing power to Goh Chok Tong. Lee’s eldest son, Lee Hsien Loong, took over from Goh as the third premier in 2004.
