Mrs Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore Mentor Minister’s wife, suffered another haemorrhage attack in hospital on the 24th Jun 2008.
On 17th May 2008, Mrs Lee Kuan Yew, whose maiden name is Kwa Geok Choo, underwent surgery and was put under close observation.
On 14th May 2008, Mrs Lee Kuan Yew was transferred to a normal ward.
On 12th May 2008, Mrs Lee Kuan Yew was taken to the National Neuroscience Institute, where a brain scan revealed massive right intra-cerebral haemorrhage. She was subsequently admitted to the Neurointensive Care Unit at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
MRS Lee Kuan Yew suffered another stroke while in hospital on Tuesday.
A brief statement from Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s office on Tuesday night said it was a massive haemorrhage.
‘She is currently critically ill, with guarded prognosis for recovery,’ the statement said.
Mrs Lee, 87, suffered a stroke on May 12 and was taken to the National Neuroscience Institute for an urgent brain scan, which revealed bleeding in the right side of the brain.
She was subsequently admitted to the Neurointensive Care Unit at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The haemorrhage stabilised after two days of close monitoring and treatment, and she was transferred to the general ward on May 14.
But she remained in serious condition, and underwent surgery three days later.
On June 1, the Minister Mentor’s Office said in a statement that she was making slow but steady progress since her surgery.
Mrs Lee suffered a stroke in 2003 when she and Mr Lee were in London on a European tour. The bleeding was also in the right side of the brain.
She recovered soon after and was well enough to continue accompanying Mr Lee on official trips.
