Lee Kuan Yew’s condition has improved slightly and he remains sedated and on mechanical ventilation, said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office on Saturday night.

He is continuing with his antibiotics and remains in the ICU.

Doctors at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) are monitoring him closely, said Minister for Communication and Information Yaacob Ibrahim in a Facebook post on Friday night.

“I understand that many people are concerned and anxious about Mr Lee Kuan Yew's condition. I have been informed that he is stable and that the doctors are monitoring him closely,” he wrote.

“In the meantime, let us continue to give him our well wishes and keep him in our prayers,” he added.

Mr Lee, 91 has been warded at SGH since 5 Feb for severe pneumonia.
