Lee Wei Ling, the estranged sister of Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 69 after being diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy in 2020. Her death was announced by their younger brother, Lee Hsien Yang, on Facebook.The siblings are the children of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, and have been involved in a public dispute regarding the fate of their late father’s house following his death in 2015. Despite the rift with his siblings, Lee Hsien Loong stated on Facebook that he “held nothing against Ling” and continued to do whatever he could to support her well-being.
He characterized his sister as a fighter who was “fiercely loyal to her friends, instinctively sympathetic to the underdog, and proactive in addressing unfairness or suspected wrongdoing.”The late doctor was a recipient of the esteemed President’s Scholarship and graduated at the top of her medical school cohort. Lee never married and lived with her parents until their passing.
