Madam Kwa Geok Choo - the wife of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, and mother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has died on Saturday.
Mrs Lee Kuan Yew, age 89, passed away peacefully at home at 5.40 pm. Read here for more details.

Mrs Lee, or Mdm Kwa Geok Choo, was really a very quiet woman, a great woman and wife to support MM Lee her entire life. What amaze me the most was her love story with MM Lee, how they met, how they fell in love, how they got married then 're-marry' again after came back to Singapore from their study in UK. Her dedication, commitment and love to MM Lee, is truly a legend in itself, a great example for many married couples to follow, their success in their marriage and love for each other, are truly a great testimony for all married couples.

I do know and aware that how much MM Lee has love Mdm Kwa, her medical condition and bed-ridden has truly affected MM Lee very much. With her passing, it's not only a great loss to Singapore, it's greater loss to MM Lee. I do sincerely hope that MM Lee can be strong and continue to live many more years to come.

What a sad day for Singapore... my deepest condolences to MM Lee and PM Lee and their families.
