Lee Kwan Yew’s daughter, Wei Ling, dies at 69

Her death comes four years after a degenerative brain disease diagnosis

KUALA LUMPUR — Dr Lee Wei Ling, the daughter of Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, died at home this morning age 69.

Her brother Lee Hsien Yang announced her passing in a Facebook post.

Singapore media reported that Lee, a neurologist, had been diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a brain disease that slows physical movements and eventually results in death.

Wei Ling revealed her diagnoses in 2020, five years after her father Kuan Yew died in 2015.

Singapore Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the former prime minister, posted on Facebook on his younger sister’s death, noting that as a neurologist, she had diagnosed herself with PSP before doctors formally did.

“She took it with her usual fortitude and stoicism, and posted about it as one of those thing in life to be borne and endured. She knew what it meant, and made the most of the time she had even as her health declined.

“Now she has left us. I will deeply miss Ling. May she rest in peace.”

Hsien Yang, meanwhile, posted that Wei Ling wanted no flowers at her funeral wake, and asked that all donations be sent to charities and societies she had chosen. – October 9, 2024
