- Media gathered outside the Singapore Casket despite calls for privacy at Dr Lee Wei Ling’s funeral.
Her brother, Lee Hsien Yang, announced her passing on 9 October and requested a private wake in line with Dr Lee's wishes.
He emphasised equal treatment for all visitors, with no special privileges for VIPs. The wake, organised at Singapore Casket, has barred media and prohibited photography.
The wake is being held at the Pearl & Sapphire Hall of Singapore Casket, located at 131 Lavender Street, Singapore.
Public visitation is open from 2 PM to 10 PM on 10 October, and from 10 AM to 10 PM on 11 October.
The final visitation period is scheduled for 10 AM to 1 PM on 12 October.

May she rest in peace.
Sincere condolences to family , friends, colleagues etc
🙏 Actually it's a public show of respect to a compassionate Dr Lee Wei Ling , the only daughter of our late Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew for their sacrifices & good leaderships to help built-up Singapore we all can enjoy today! 🙏 Deepest condolences to the families & friends of Dr Lee Wei Ling ... May Dr Lee Wei Ling be blessed to a better world & realm of bliss & be reunited with her loved ones in a better place in due time & space ... Please guys , this is a wake & funeral ... Be civil & show our last respect , not a place to discuss human politics ... All of our own unions will eventually face their respective dissolutions too in due time & space ... 🙏🕯🌼🌿🌏🕊🇸🇬🇲🇾
Just show your compassionate here enough, no need to go there. Sigh....😊
Founding PM??? That's hilarious 😂
A good daughter who suffered so much.
May she RIP.
Media sickens me for their total disrespect and disregard for the privacy requested. 😡
It’s sad the sibling did not reconcile before her passing. RIP Dr. Lee.
The enemity still remains, until their inheritance of LKY is verified and clarified.
This is family problem don't publicize, and please let her rest in peacee
Media attracted by VIP.
A respectful daughter,right 2the very end❤RIP:Dr.LWLis with her parents now,may they all:Rest ln Peace❤God Bless**
It’s sad that Lee family end up like normal family after demise parents but Dr Lee a kind soul hope she have a better family next rebirth & live happily she suffer too much end of her journey have a smooth journey to the west 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Normal family? In normal families siblings don't fight each other. At least not in most I know.
If indeed want privacy then no need to announce on social media. Is it his way to cause rifts rifts for the govt? What is his real motive? Anw hope this will not turn political. Only the family knows exactly what is happening. Every family has their own disagreements. Others pls don’t get involved.
Why not?
It's to inform the public who wish to attend the wake of a most compassionate and kind lady.
Otherwise, how will the public know where to go.
Request is not binding. Was the request inside or outside?
Sad story lah!
Pls la, what would you do if you had private requests you dont want anyone to dishonour ! Shame on you the media!
They are there to report on her brothers attendance.
She had a boyfriend back in the 70s but broke up with him.
Parents disapproval so broke off.
L h l should not debate the late l k y wishes in parliament, should follow his wish. Singapore already becomes so cramped and messy with more ugly concrete h d b buildings everywhere no need to have history.
Another good reason to show empathy by the main party.😊
The enemity still remains, until their inheritance of LKY is verified and clarified.
This is Lee Family Affair ! 😅
Will 38 OXLEY be DEMOLISHED ?
Media got nothing to report. Has to have something to say making use of e popularity of dead man's daughter passing away to write. Respect the dead wishes, the least one can do.
Lawrence Wong be your OWN MAN and not a seat warmer and RESPECT THE WISHES OF LKY and his children excluding the HOPELESS SON
Reporters nothing to report! All are trash reporters 😂! Pathetic
This is the Lee family s matter,why has it become political?I don't understand. Singaporeans should not get involved.
I agree. We should not get involved. But when the case was brought to parliament, it has become a national affair. Lee family should keep it as private matter and sought out in civil court not in parliament. My two cents worth of comments.
They made it political. Didn't LWL and LHY publicise this in the press and social media? So now they are public figures, even more than before
Forget his wishes.
He paved the way - he snatched dignity & critical thinking.
Restore yours now - Deprogramme.
Outrageous and disgusting of the state controlled media companies behaving rudely and disrespectful towards a very decent respected national hero. So sad that the father’s sin befall his children to suffer his bad karma. Very unfortunate. RIP Ms Lee.
Who is SURPRISED ?
TYPICAL PROPAGANDA 🐂💩
Ratan Tata died around the same time. What an opposite contrast.
Thank you , Mr Lee Kuan Yew. I am better off most of the Indians in the world. I am better off with most in Asia Country. Better off with most the Indians in Singapore. If that’s all what is important in life than I am grateful to Singapore.
Thanks for sharing somebody sold Singaporeans rights n benefits to freeloaders

My sympathies to the family of Lee Wei Ling but have no sympathy at all for the self induced plight of LHY who was willing to make an enemy of LHL over whether 38 Oxley Rd was to be demolished. My take is that LHY has always been jealous of LHL, always playing second fiddle to LHL all his life. His feeling of jealousy is manifested in his disproportionate reaction over the Oxley Rd house. Has LHY ever consulted the people of Singapore over their view on the Oxley Rd house issue which is no more a private family matter but national but of national importance?
He is misled by spouse
Have a referandum then
@@CalvinK-the_old_fogey I think he also played a part in influencing Dr Lee's opinion about LHL and her decision about their house.
@@emilyl1094 LHY’s action is shaped by his dominant other half 😂 but that’s life. I just feel sad that LWL, when confronted by her own mortality, didn’t reconcile with LHL.
This is a moment of condolescences and I do not see the rationale of LHY request to keep Media away from the wake. After all, she is the daughter of our former PM. I think we all should respect the voice of Singaporeans regarding the demolition of the house , as well as LHL being head of the state. Due to the stature of LKY, the house is not just a private house but a house of national interest. Why is LHY so bent to get it demolished and influencing his sister to go against her brother ? We had a Sun Yat Sen Nayang hall in Balestier . Why not a LKY memorial house when so many people are so proud of the era of LKY and keep referencing and comparing the new Generation leaders against that era ?
Because his parents didn't want that
And there is already a public memorial being built for the Pioneer leaders
Come naked into the world, leave the earth empty. What is memorial ? To serve whose purpose. If one wants to remember your beloved n cherished relationship, it should be done in the heart not hypocrisy. When they r alive why not reconcile n live in peace. Why one is dead n empty talks come out. God is watching n when the time comes, he/she will be accountable to the Maker. Do not mock God, the creator. All has sinned n fallen short of God' glory. The penalty for sin is condemned to the pit.
The house has historical significance
Another good reason to vote Opposition.
No respect though
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes let’s get LSY back and vote him in via PSP where he and Dr TCB will form a very formidable GRC team🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pretty childish comment. You have every right to vote whosoever , seriously no one cares !
The media presence actually helps the opposition while violating the request for privacy, so your comment sabotages the opposition. You didn't use the brains, right?
Another good reason for PAP to show empathy...😊
OHMITOHFATT,BLESS HER SOUL MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
Is "respecting" the wish of getting the house demolished really that critical?
Yes. Lky had in his lifetime taken lotsa lands for the development of Singapore. As a gentleman, he’d given word to do likewise for his own house. Not honouring his wish here may give him difficulties in the afterlife?
@@windydragon6522 I believe he would respect the government's decision just as he would have wanted the public to respect his choices when he was Prime Minister.
@@rbc812 He already knew that there will be attempts to make it a national heritage building against his and his wife's wishes.
So, he said that the public cannot visit the building, only close family members.
That's clear enough he doesn't want a memorial building
@@wills2408 We did not want to move from Kampong to the housing estates, that was against our wish. We had to oblige anyway. At that time LKY was the PM. Likewise, he had to follow rules after his retirement.
@@rbc812 Whose rules?
That's why he said that if it was decided to gazette it as a national heritage, he didn't want the public to be allowed into the house - only family members.
So, it's very clear that he doesn't want Oxley house to be a memorial for him.
Besides there is already a memorial being built for the Pioneer Leaders.
So, no need to have a separate one for Mr LKY
