Lee Kuan Yew 'has weakened further': PMO

 [UPDATED 11:30am 22 March 2015: Added latest PMO statement on Lee Kuan Yew's condition]

Former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew "has weakened further", the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement released late Sunday morning.

The 91-year-old elder statesman has been critically ill for the past several days after his condition deteriorated earlier last week.

Lee has been warded at the Singapore General Hospital since 5 Feb for severe pneumonia. Many Singaporeans have left cards and flowers outside of the hospital to wish him well.
