Mr Lee Kuan Yew : Lying in State @ Parliament House (25 - 28 Mar)

Mr Lee Kuan Yew's body will lie in state at Parliament House from 25 Mar (Wednesday) - 28 March (Saturday) 8pm.

Earlier this morning, Mr Lee Kuan Yew's casket, draped with the state flag was carried by the 8 casket bearers onto a gun carriage at Sri Temasek.

建国总理李光耀灵柩今早从斯里淡马锡总理官邸移往国会大厦。

The draping of the State Flag over a casket is the highest State honour accorded to a leader. When the Singapore flag covers the casket, it is placed so that the crescent and stars lie over the head and close to the heart. ‪

President Tony Tan and ESM Goh Chok Tong, along with 90 staff from the President's Office, Prime Minister's Office, and 24 Ceremonial Guards, waited at Istana Plaza to offer respects to Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Thousands lined along both sides of the gun procession route on Wednesday morning (Mar 25) to catch a glimpse of Mr Lee Kuan Yew's casket as it was being transported on a gun carriage to Parliament House, It proceeded through parts of Orchard Road, Bras Basah Road and North Bridge Road before turning into Parliament House.

It was an emotional journey as his casket emerged from the Istana gate. The crowds that had gathered to pay their last respects yelled "MM Lee, we love you ".

All along the streets, people cheered and clapped, threw flowers at his casket, and took photographs. A number of them wept.

队伍离开总统府，从乌节路途经勿拉士峇沙路和桥北路，抵达国会大厦。前来送别的道路两旁民众在盖上国旗的灵柩出现那一刻情绪激动，有许多民众高喊“内阁资政，我们爱您”, 有些甚至失声痛哭。

Members of the public can pay their last respects at Parliament House until Saturday evening 8pm. 

灵柩停放在新加坡国会大厦期间，公众可从本月25日至28日，到国会大厦向李光耀致敬。公众可从国会大厦旁的步道排队进入国会大厦，步道旁有吊唁版供其表达哀思。

Thousands of people have joined the queue to pay their last respects to our Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew who is lying in state at Parliament House.

Due to overwhelming queues at the Parliament House where the waiting time is 8 hours to pay our last respect, the Lying In State timing has been extended to 24 hours till Saturday, 28 March 8pm. There is no need to rush down immediately.

今天到国会大夏排队的人龙好长哦，看不到尽头，天气再热也烧不掉人民对李光耀先生的尊敬！

Statement from the office of our Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong :

Mr Lee Kuan Yew was admitted to Singapore General Hospital yesterday (15 Feb 2013) after experiencing a suspected Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) associated with a prolonged episode of atrial fibrillation (i.e. irregular heartbeat). He has recovered but will remain warded for a few days for the doctors to adjust his medications and for observation.

[A Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) is when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief period of time. A person will have stroke-like symptoms which clear in less than 24 hours.]

Mr Lee Kuan Yew (born 16 September 1923) served as Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959 until he stepped down in 1990. Mr Lee retired from the cabinet in 2011 but remains a Member of Parliament.

Wishing our Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew a speedy recovery. Our prayers are with him.

Happy 89th birthday Mr Lee Kuan Yew

We are able to enjoy spectacular National Day Parades and fireworks year after year because of one great man, our Founding Father Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Show him some respect, stop the lies and cursings.

Happy National Day, Singapore!
