Singapore founder Lee Kuan Yew's condition worsens
Singapore, March 21: Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's condition remains critical, the Prime Minister's Office said on Saturday.
Lee has been in hospital since Feb 5 with severe pneumonia. He has been in the intensive care unit since.
Earlier the PMO has stated that his health had improved slightly but on Saturday the PMO said in a press release that Lee's condition remained critical and he has been on ventilator ever since.
Lee co-founded the People's Action Party and became the premier in 1965. He is widely credited with transforming Singapore from an economic backwater into one of Asia's wealthiest economies.
