Singapore leaders pay tribute to Lee Wei Ling
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong sent his condolences to the Lee family, and described Dr Lee, who died aged 69, as "unswerving in her focus on patient welfare and medical ethics".
She was the daughter of Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. Dr Lee, the second of three children, is survived by her brothers, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mr Lee Hsien Yang.
PM Lawrence Wong, currently in Laos for ASEAN Summit, paid tribute to Dr Lee’s devotion to her medical profession. “I did not know Dr Lee personally. But I do know she devoted her life to medicine, a paediatric neurologist, epileptologist, & head of Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s neuroscience dept,” he said in a Facebook post. “She helped to establish National Neuroscience Institute & later served as its Director for 11 years. Throughout her career, she was unswerving in her focus on patient welfare and medical ethics.
Dr Lee was also a regular contributor to The Sunday Times, & her columns were later compiled into a book, A Hakka Woman's Singapore Stories: My life as a daughter, doctor and diehard Singaporean.
