Lee Kuan Yew sedated, remains on mechanical ventilation in ICU

Following his admission to Singapore General Hospital earlier this month for severe pneumonia, the Prime Minister’s Office has posted an updated about the nation’s first Prime Minister, who is still warded in the Intensive Care Unit. 

“He remains sedated and on mechanical ventilation. His doctors have restarted him on antibiotics, and are continuing to monitor him closely,” the press release reported.
