Former Cabinet minister Chua Sian Chin died of heart failure on Wednesday night. He was 81.
Mr. Chua made history as the youngest Cabinet minister when he was elected in 1968 at age 34, and went on to hold ministerial portfolios in education, health and home affairs in a political career spanning 27 years.
His funeral will be held on Tuesday at 11am at the Church of St Teresa.
Editor’s Note: Our original headline for the story was, ‘Former Cabinet Minister and father of Singtel CEO dies of heart failure’. We have changed it, as well as removed the reference to Mr. Chua being the father of Ms. Chua Sock Khoong, as we are at this point unable to confirm this relationship in black and white.
