      MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, 85, had a minor surgery on Saturday to implant a cardiac pacemaker, said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office on Sunday. �

      The surgery was performed because MM Lee has been experiencing symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia - irregular heart rhythm - which showed up with his atrial flutter on Sept 14.

      'He is recovering from the surgery and is expected to be discharged from the hospital on Monday,' said the statement.

      MM Lee will still go ahead with his trip to Hong Kong from Monday to Wednesday to have a dialogue session with former President Bill Clinton at his Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Asia Meeting, accompanied by his doctors.

      Atrial flutter is not uncommon among people of his age.

      Even when he was warded for an abnormal heart rhythm in September, MM Lee still kept his date with the Global UBS Philanthropy on Forum on Sept 13 night , addressing the 200 participants at the Arts House via video link.

      He was discharged a day later.

      Mr Lee, who had two operations in 1996 to clear a blocked heart artery, is known to exercise regularly.

      So, Lee Kuan Yew, when are you going to die?

      85 years can die already, old enough.

      I think Lee Kuan Yew should had gone to a dialogue session with God rather than Bill Clinton.

      God is more wise also.

    • ... hehehee.. I won't be surprised if he has already planned for a

      bionic heart to be implanted when his old one gives up...

      .. then what? Kidneys? Liver?

      Problem with him is he thinks Death by Nature is stoppable...

      and you all are so worried..

       

      I already said it won't be long since early this year... the signs are all there!

      With his kind of temperaments, it is hard to stay on longer...

      it is the blockage of some arcu point of the body not not able to supply regular to heart

      resolve the arcu point should better solve heart problem

    • actually... he is just an old man who is probably living out the last years of his life... even if u dun like him... dun need to harm ur own karma by wishing for his sooner death... he will leave this world when his time up. it's as simple and as natural as that...
