SINGAPORE: Mr Lee Kuan Yew - Singapore's first Prime Minister and former Minister Mentor - is still warded in the Intensive Care Unit at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) announced in a media release on Thursday (Feb 26).

SINGAPORE: Former prime minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, has been hospitalised with severe pneumonia, but his condition has since stabilised, announced the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Saturday (Feb 21).
Mr Lee, 91, was admitted to Singapore General Hospital on Feb 5 for severe pneumonia. "His condition has stabilised and he remains on mechanical ventilation in the ICU. He is conscious and lightly sedated," the PMO said.
Mechanical ventilation is the use of a ventilator to support patients in breathing.
"His doctors are continuing to monitor his condition. PMO will keep the public informed of any change," it added.
During Chinese New Year in 2014, Mr Lee was hospitalised for an infection, fever and cough. And in 2013, he was admitted to hospital for a suspected Transient Ischaemic Attack, an episode where irregular heartbeat leads to a brief stoppage of blood flow to the brain.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he visited his father Saturday morning to wish him Happy New Year and a smooth recovery, as he did not see him on the first day of Chinese New Year on doctors' advice.
"This was the first year in a long while that we could not attend the Lee family reunion dinner," Mr Lee added on his Facebook page.
Other ministers took to social media to send their good wishes to the senior Mr Lee as well. Education Minister Heng Swee Keat urged his Facebook followers to wish Mr Lee a speedy recovery, while Minister for Social and Family Development Chan Chun Sing said: "Looking forward to him joining us again soon to celebrate SG50."
Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower, also said on Twitter: "Our prayers are with Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his family and we hope he will get well soon!"
