Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first and longest-serving prime minister, is fighting a neurological disease that makes it difficult for him to walk, his daughter wrote in a newspaper column on Sunday.
Lee Wei Ling, who is also director of Singapore’s National Neuroscience Institute, wrote in Singapore’s Sunday Times that her 88-year-old father has sensory peripheral neuropathy, a condition that has impaired the conduction of sensation from his legs to his spinal cord.
“This makes his walking unsteady, as many Singaporeans have already noticed,” she wrote.
“I have no doubt my father will fight his disease for as long as he thinks he can contribute to Singapore,” Ms. Lee added. “I think with medication and simple precaution, he can continue to be of service to his country and the world.”

from the look of Lee Kuan Yew, I felt that he is a very sick man, now. Taking drugs and medication worsen its condition. If Lee Kuan Yew can built Miracle Worker Hospital, it can cure, treat and heal his disease.
Just want to pray that Mr.Lee will heal as soon as possible…
Dear Mr. Lee Kuan Yew,
It is always an exciting occasion to see you in person, especial up close in a community event such as Tree planting at Holland Drive. This is the second time I get to see you personally after 18 long years.
Despite having to fight a neurological disease, you still make it a point to lend support to your constituency event. Bravo Mr. Lee.
I must say you are very alert at 88 to notice my greeting while riding the buggy, and even humorous.
God bless.
